EVGA P55 SLI PCI-E x1 usability

[faugusztin]

Hi,

i'm thinking about getting the EVGA P55 SLI motherboard (the one above the LE version, with code 132-LF-E655-KR), but i'm have one question to anyone who can check this one out for me.

Because of my graphics card cooling (HD5870+MK-13+2 fans), i will have to use the top PCI-E x1 connector for my sound card (X-Fi Titanium), but i'm not sure if the cooler above it won't collide with the card itself :

Can owners of this motherboard (or the very similar P55 FTW) check this out and give me a yes or no ?

Thanks

If anyone wants to know the answer, then the answer is yes :

Pause it at 3:38-3:40. As you can see, the only thing above PCI-E x1 slot height is the power cable for the LED in that cooler => no problem.
