Yeah, inserting the card into the PCIe slot should not be to difficult...
funnybiscuit, could you post some pics with details about how exactly that card is seated there?

The first step to correcting the issues you're experiencing is to make sure your HD7990 is installed in optimal conditions. That means that it should be properly seated in the PCIe slot to ensure that all the contacts are inserted. You shouldn't be straining the card or having to force anything into the slot. The installation should be as simple as inserting it in and hearing the click. I'd definately get a more appropriate case to accomodate that monster. 😛
Yeah exactly, it's not properly installed 😛
and i should correct myself, it's the HD7970 not the HD7990 my bad x)
but yeah, i tried to force the gpu into the slot but it still didn't fit so i try further cuz i didn't want to damage anything.

Yeah i got some pics, but it's difficult to see. I hope you guys can understand what's going on 😛
Hm... on the back of the case, where the Lightning has it's connectors (the video output ones), does that metallic thing completely fit to the case?
Where I put the green arrow, do you have a space or the card completely attaches to the case?

Yup! which i think is the reason why it won't go further into the slot
OK, then... that metallic plate on the back of the Lightning is hold there by some screws... - you could try to remove it... but then the card will became very unstable in the slot...
On the mobo side, that metallic part suppose to go between the back of the case and the mobo... - check if it has it's place there...

Depending on what Motherboard, CPU Cooler, Ram, the GPU reactor may be hitting something and not allowing the card to fully seat. Please provide the picture HiVizMan is requesting. I have had to remove the cover that is over the reactor card to get a 680 Lightning to clear my Corsair Dominator Ram on my RIVE. The Reactor card cleared but not thee round plastic cover. The Reactor serves no purpose unless you are overclocking the GPU to extremes and can safely be removed and saved if need be.
