I would like to install a second GTX Titan for Dual SLI. However, if I were to use slot #5, then the GPU will obstruct the fan on the South-bridge.
Per the manual.

- 7 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots
(PCIE1/PCIE3/PCIE5/PCIE7:x16/16/16/16 mode;
PCIE1/PCIE2/PCIE3/PCIE4/PCIE5/ PCIE6/PCIE7: x16/8/8/8/8/8/8)
Page 21:
ASROCK recommends the first GPU enter PCIE1; second: PCIE5; third: PCIE3; and fourth: PCIE7.

My question: Does the order of installation truly matter as long as I am using the odd-numbered slots: 1,3,5 and 7? For instance, can I install the first GPU in PCIE1 but install the second GPU in PCIE3 or PCIE7 instead of PCIE5?
Per the manual.
