I have just swapped my CPU cooler for a silver arrow, after managing to fit this monster in to my case. I could no longer fit my sound card in to any PCI express x1 slots, so I have fitted it in to a graphics card slot. I have heard this could slow down my graphics card, would it slow it down much?
 
Thanks Orcvader, that's good to know and I nearly put my sound card in that slot :D

Well it saves me having to sell it now, I was a little gutted after fitted the cooler. As I have only had the sound card 3 month and I am upgrading my graphics card soon to one of the new AMD cards and did not want it being restricted.
 
No you won't have this problem if your using the small PCI express x1 slots :)

Your board has the small PCI express x1 slots in the same place as mine.
