My GPU Ports Are Blocked by My Case, What Should I Do?

Hey everyone! I just finished building my new PC with a Thermaltake View 380 TG ARGB case and it's looking great with the RX9060XT and Ryzen 7900X. However, I noticed that the HDMI and Display ports on my GPU are getting blocked by the case. Should I look into getting a different case altogether, or is there a way to resolve this issue? Here's a picture for reference: https://imgur.com/a/NDp8nZ5.

It seems like your HDMI port is actually visible, which might mean the card isnโ€™t seated straight in the case. Try loosening the screws that hold the GPU in place, gently push it to the right, and then tighten the screws back up. That should help with the alignment!

You might be able to fix this by removing the PCIe slot cover from the third slot on your case. That should give you the space you need for the cables to connect properly. Just a heads-up, it looks like those slot covers arenโ€™t replaceable, so you can only use the slots available. Hope that helps!

I've had a similar problem and as long as you can get the cable connected without too much bending, it shouldn't cause any issues. Just make sure everything is secure and not overly stressed.
