Is there enough room to put the sound card in the PCIe x1 slot?

Will this cause the video card to overheat?

You can use any pci slot on the board with a pci-e x1 card(they're all compatible).
Best results would probably be in the bottom slot.(isolates the card from other devices)

AuzenTech Forte Low Profile PCI-E 7.1-$119.21 USD

Better components and drivers + 2yr warranty when registered.
The Forte is essientially an improved version of the Fatal1ty.
If the I/O drive is important to you then get that.
Just saying same card slighty cheaper.

That sound card is in my possession already. It has been for a couple years now.

But i don't see a lower PCIe x1 on the card.
All i see is the upper one.
And, the top Blue PCIe_16 is set to 16x and the black PCIe_16 is set to 4x. If that makes any difference.

Edit: Sorry i miss read your post a little.
Ok.. well does the black one set to x4 going to be a problem?

All's good you can use a pcie x1 card in any slot.
I have my Forte in the bottom pci x4 slot on my board it's all backwards compatible.
You could put yours in the bottom blue pci x4 slot as well.
Makes absolutely no difference to the cards performance.
It would even work in the gpu x16 not that anyone would though.
