Hmmm making second thoughts if this is a good idea? Sure dont want to ruin this very nice card.

You say there will be a problem with the fan and a DFI Expert mobo. I didnt thought there was so much of a difference from Expert to NF4 SLI-D which is the mobo I have.
It actually doesnt bend THAT much that there would be any issues. Its just that in BTX the fan is near the pci-e slot and ATX it interferes. Macci had a 7000B Cu on his x1800xt with normal DFI NF4 board and the fan went in the middle of the slots so there was no problem.
