Its the SATA controller.
Unless there is a board that has an alternative sata controller along side the native Intel ones.
P.S look at post#36, thats awesome.

Yes. Very nice, But do remember that for a 2nd card (should the situation arise) you need a bigger PSU.
Oops didnt notice put the wrong power in. Is this the power you said? This will do 2 cards year? and we have onboard sound check!
All look good too you ?

That is the PSU I said.
It will do two cards.
Also remember that with the tall RAM you will more than likely need a all-in-one water cooler, I can think of a few Air coolers that will fit too.
With that card you have to slide the middle HDD cage out (but you still have the lower cage) but at least it fits, which is the important part

Well i only need 1 HDD slot and the sata takes no space right? maybe a different case?
Caporegime
No it works, you still have 3 internal bays, the SSD will fit in one of these 3.5" drive bays as they also accept 2.5" drives
Ok cool im happy here. Do i need a holder type thing for SSD My current one just sits in the case on a random bit of metal lol
Caporegime
The actual HDD caddies (plastic things that slide in and out of the HDD bay) have support for 3.5" and 2.5" drives.

Also that Gigabyte card also does the flex display,
The motherboard does have onboard sound.
Everything checks out fine
