ASRock Extreme9 X79. This is the MOBO I just bought, but as I was looking at it in closer detail I noticed the first two x16 pci-e slots are right next to each other, and then a pci-e x1 slot and then 3 more x16 pci-e slots. When I place my gpu on the top slot it will easily cover the second slot, so now I have to stretch my 120mm sli bridge all the way down to the third slot and I'm not sure if it'll even reach. I'm assuming the sli bridge that comes with the mobo is specifically designed for the board, but I have read that sometimes they're not. Plus, I only see 120mm as the longest SLI bridge out there. Are there any other sizes? And also am I able to put the GPU in the second PCI-E slot rather than the very top one so I can reach my other GPU?
