SF4 TE stick not working ?

[ThEmperorIsDead]

Hi, I have this same problem with the ps3 T.E. stick, I would like to buy a VIA Chip usb pci.....but I have the Asus Crosshair 3 mobo with 2 Asus HD4890's in crossfire mode leaving the only available pci slot between the 2 Gpu's and I'm worried about blocking the fan outlet on the primary card and causing over heating problems.
Any advice on my options?
My Asus HD4890's are the twin fan models from OcUK.
I would be very grateful for any input.
Thanks, Scott.

Do you know if there are PCI-E options that work with the PS3 TE stick? Looks like your mobo has a spare slot at CPU side of GFX cards.
Maybe something like this would be better assuming it will work:

Thanks for your response and suggestion but my sound card has to use that slot, I was wondering more whether theres anything like a PCI extension cable that you can fit to the slot but locate the actual card else where like a pci link or even an external device which will use the appropriate chip set?

Yeah such things exist for both PCI and PCIe I believe though I can't see any for sale on here. Google PCI or PCI-E riser, you should see some with ribbon cables for manoeuvrability

Once saw a pic of a PC with 4 GTX295 which I assume only fitted due to such risers.
