Hi

I would like to buy a Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro 7.1 pci express sound card for my asus motherboard but im not sure if it will fit in the only available pci express slot on my motherboard which just happens to be the very top one near to the heatsink.

Here is a picture of the pci express slot x4 at very top so you can see what i mean.

and another view of it.

do you think it would fit at a push or is it not going to happen.


Thanks paul

Should be ok if the northbridge heatsink isnt any higher than the PCI-E slot

It does look like the heatsink is designed to allow a long card to used, belongs it's not higher then It should go in.
