Hey guys, today I purchased a H80i Liquid cooler and upon installing it I noticed that my graphics card got in the way of the radiator so I thought I'd move my card to the 2nd slot, all is well till I read online that using the 2nd pci-e slot can cripple my card's performance, I researched about it and I was getting mixed answers.. my board is a Asus P7P55 LX and both pci-e slot is labeled "x16" on the board.. so my question is, is my graphics card's performance getting throttled down or am I ok? I'm sorta new to building computers so I thought I'd ask experienced people in this site... thanks in advance!
main card in 2nd PCI-e slot?

crud you're right, I noticed some FPS drops while playing some games that would normally play with zero lag, I moved my card back to the first slot and mounted my H80i to the top of my case, it sits funky but it'll have to do, thanks!
