Gigabyte X58A-UD7 running review

[Katanai]

No, that big cooling card thing plugs into it.

One question I have - with the cooling block installed, can the second PCI-E 1x slot fit a Creative Titanium sized card?

Sadly no, with the heatpipe installed you can not fit in those PCIE 1x slots.



They could have done better than that, I don't see why a northbridge sink should block two slots.
And I really don't know why it doesn't have a bit that fits in that top PCIE x1 slot if its sitting on top of it.
That would have made mounting it on a table 10 times easier...

You can fit that card in the lowest PCIE slot though, if you don't plan on going SLI or Crossfire...
