Cause i had to skip the second slot. The manual says to use the thrid slot if you are going to SLI. Also the card wont fit in the second slot. The screws stick out on the back of the card and it prevets it from fitting in because it hits thw first card very slightly. And the clip actually broke of so their is nothing i can press on. It snapped off.

Ah that make sense, well that third slot is an x16 slot running in x4 mode, so you will take a small hit in performance but it should be fine. As for the clip, broken or not the card will stay in and you simply tug at it until it comes out if its broken to get the card out.
