Potential videocard clearance issue...

[Slammer044]

I apologize in advance if this issue has already been addressed. I own a MSI N560GTX Ti twin frozr III vid card. I am looking at purchasing the P8Z68-V LE, and I am wondering if there will be any clearance issues with the chipset and/or anything else on that side of the board contacting the end of the vid card. My card is a monster and it looks like it might not clear. Any advice please?

I have the P8Z68-V LX and a Gigabyte GTX 560ti, and have no clearance issues.....I just needed to make sure I had low profile ram to get under my Heatsink.....

You may want to check your clearances in your case though.....

worry more about clearance with case then mobo

The PCIe spec defines clearances around and under the slots, so you should be fine. At least, I've never had an issue where an expansion card had clearance issues with the mobo. What you do want to check is the overall card length relative to any obstructions in your case.
