Hi,
I've ordered a new motherboard (Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0) but I'm now worrying where I'm going to place my sound card (ASUS Xonar DX). The soundcard is a PCI x1 slot and the motherboard has this, but I'm going to be using a pair of 7970s in crossfire and the top card will cover the x1 lane if I'm correct. Like in the linked image below, both cards are dual slot and will be used in the light brown slots. Is there any way around this?
