Low(er) profile 8800GT

I am a bit confused by will try to help. How can your 8800T fan block the second PCI-e 16x size slot? They are three slots away from each other. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.aspx?Image=13-1...

Low profile usually refers to a card that is lower in slot height (as it stands up off the motherboard) allowing it to fit in a thin case. Like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.aspx?CurImage=1...

From what I can imagine you are saying, by low profile you need a single slot card that won't block the next PCI slot not pci-e slot. Is this correct? That would be a reference cooled 8800GT like this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.aspx?CurImage=1...

Cut the fins!

I assume this is the video card you have

And this is your motherboard


The 2 PCI-E slots (blue and black) are 3 slots away from each other so even with the height of the cooler on the Asus card you should be fine but you won't have use of the PCI-E 1x or PCI slots.

Oppps you are right (just taken a quick peek). Put it down to ncreasing senility and/or a Doh moment
