Hey,

I am going to fit the NH D15 on my ASUS Rampage V Extreme motherboard - whilst i understand it will fit, i know it will block the first pci slot. my question is; will it matter if i fit my graphics card to a different slot e.g the 3rd one? I am not planning on running sli at the moment and the graphics card is a evga nvidia 980gtx.

Thanks for your time.

Sounds like a awesome computer. You'll want to plug it into a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, from what I understand the Rampage V has 4 of them which makes it easy for you, there should be 4 identical ones (perhaps all red) and you'll be fine putting it in either one of those to give you more room for the cooler. Hope that helps, pick a solution if it did. :)

No worries man, ask away. Quite the computer for your first build, there is heaps of videos on YouTube that guide you through the whole process as well, might want to check some of those out.
