    why not just use one of the PCIe slots it has, you can plug in a PCIe 1x to a larger slot

    You cant use two triple slot cards with a soundcard on this board, and even with 2 slot cards, having a third slot free after them greatly helps to reduce GPU temps.

    3 slot spacing per graphics card plus a soundcard which doesnt reduce that spacing is the ideal layout that I want.

    The very middle slot area, between the two middle orange slots is the most ideal place for a soundcard on such a slot layout with two graphics cards, as you can see with the R3E black edition which shows the included soundcard installed on that slot.
