Are you referring the toe SATA ports on the mobo?

If so yes, the GFX card does go over the Sata ports on the MOBO, but I just plugged in the SATA cables before I put the 970 in.

-Btw I am swapping cases here soon to a NZXT H440.
im refering to front usb 3.0 header. Plug is sticking out about 2 centimetres. Do you use it on your case?

Yeah after I thought about this I realized I kinda derped.


I don't use the USB 3 plug-in from the case due to the fact the cable was messed up from my last MOBO and it would not fit into this one.

What I have done though in preperation for a case swap is move my Video card down a PCE-E slot in order to reveal the Single Slot plug in on the mobo, along with the USB 3 header I will be using in my next case.

Still using my Gigabyte GTX Titan from when I first brought it at first release and it still runs well.
It functions even better with newer Z97 system I upgrade to a while ago from my older Z68 system last year.

Despite almost two years already my Titan is still outputting good performance and I can easily keep with it in my system for another year before upgrading to something better.

im refering to front usb 3.0 header. Plug is sticking out about 2 centimetres. Do you use it on your case?

Gpus dont overlap that port. Just plug in your usb 3.0 fp connectors.
