i want to get the Arctic Xtreme Plus GPU Cooler. The problem is the sheer size. The only way i can fit the card with the cooler onto my Rampage II Extreme is if i have my 9600GT in Slot 1, Sound card in Slot 2 and the 480 in the third slot (after moving my PSU).
My question is this, will the PCIe slot be an x8 slot then and what are the consequences if this is the case?
