Asus P6T SLI problem

[Slobbnocker]

Hi, I am using the regular Asus P6T mobo and I am planning to SLI with 2 GTX 280's from BFG. However it looks like the two PCI-E x16 slots are the 2 blue ones at the top, and it appears that the top 280 will hang over the pci slot for the sound card that I want to add. Has anyone had any experience with this issue and figured out a fix? Is the bottom pci-e slot x16 aswell or is it just the top 2 which are shaded blue? If any can give me any insight on this issue it'd be great.

I have the same board with GPUs in SLI. I haven't added a sound card so the issue isn't a big deal for me. The bottom PCIe slot runs at x4 instead of x16 like the other two. Use the first two for GPUs.

Ya but now how can I use a sound card when it's going to cover the slot? Pretty bad design on Asus' part. Oh well.
