stop now.

okay, look, if you're serious, the card should fit. It should not require any 'propping' with anything, coins or wood!

it's as simple as that!

Good luck
DO NOT put coins in your PC. You will short out everything they touch. And they would raise the graphics card so it would not sit properly in the PCIE slot.

Measure the clearance in your case and compare to the length of the card you bought.
 


i know, coins!!! Crazy, eh!? :(

i mean coins under the metal of the gpu
 


are you joking? please stop! I'm beginning to think you are trolling :)

As Bjornl said, and I eluded to already....DO NOT put coins inside your case to prop up anything. Seriously....
