Quick question P5q-e + sound card

Hi,

Just putting my rig together and not sure where the best place for the sound card would be. Above the gfx card or below or does it not matter. Both are pretty close.

TIA.

Id put it above the graphics card, that way it isnt blocking the fan. Also do you mind if i ask marka, is that a TRUE120 cpu cooler and if so whats the fit like hight wise in an eclipse 62.

I fit a soundcard on mine the other day, I put it above the graphics card.

Cheers guys, i was leaning toward top, just a bit worried about heat building up between as the 280 gets pretty hot.

setter, its a Thermalright Ultra 120 mate, fits fine, theres about an inch of room above the heatsink and the psu. I fit it to the mobo first out of the case and it only just went in when i slid the tray into the case lol.
