Made a video describing my issue, as quite a bit of it is visual. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.


My build is:
Z170e Asus MB
HAF Master Cooler Case
GTX 970 MSI/ GTX 1080 EVGA FTW2

As a side note/correction: I mentioned there possibly being an issue with the motherboard's standoffs, but this is not correct, as after some checking while the video was uploading, it turns out there are standoffs, and without them, I don't believe the MB would have even gone in the case properly.

If you examine the ends of both cards, the ends with the video outputs that stick out the back of the case, what's different about the card that works vs the card that doesn't? Is there a metal piece, a thicker piece...something different?

If not then it'll fit, you just have to fiddle with it. Installing videocards is always finicky for me too, sometimes the bracket is brushing against something I don't see unless i examine it from all angles.
