Hello, I am having some problems with installing my graphics card. I am trying to put in a XFX Double D R9 290X 1000MHz 4GB DDR5 DP HDMI 2XDVI Graphics Card R9290XEDFD in to a ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard inside a Rosewill Gaming Full Tower ATX Computer Case and it is not fitting. The graphics card is just a hair off from fitting. It almost seems that the motherboard is a mm too far to the left or that the case comes in a mm too far. I tried everything to get it to fit other than forcing it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Javwax

Try to unscrew all the screws the motherboard is fitted with and gently drag the motherboard in the needed clearance direction and tight some screws while you keep the motherboard in that direction eventualy, they usualy have a gap that exeedes 1mm between the edge of the holes and the screw and it might be tilted. To be more clear, try to rearrange your motherboard :). I hope it solves the issue. Good luck!
