1 last question ;) can i use any pci x 16 slot on my mobo for my gcard? i have 680i and there are 3. do i have to use slot number 1? im installing a cooler on the southbridge, and it wont fit with the card im using. if not, is there any way round it? slot fillers or something that will force the gpu to be used by the third…

No you can only use the first sloti think.i read that the second slot is only for use in sli mode but i have not tried it myself, so im not 100% sure but i would think the review is correct.
