Have been looking at that motherboard also. What CPU cooler are you using? I have the Ultra120 Extreme and wasnt sure if it would be a pita to try and mount on that board. Also the sata ports, do they get in the way of the GFX card?

A pictures worth a thousand words `n all that..

The sata`s arnt ideal but I have had worse to get at with the old `huge GPU card` problem.

got them all plugged... excuse the lack of cable tidy, but im waiting out for a case thats big enough.

Note. More pics `n info under water cooling forum thread `Triple RAD to RES2 remains project`

Theres the first two SATA 0 & 1 right under the card.
The others 2-5 in a bank of 2x2 below.
any naked card and your in business... wouldnt like to say on a air sleeved card?

(Note. pictures not very enlightening)
 
Thanks for the pic's. I have a GTX 280 that may be a tight fit, long *** card.
Nice rig man!!
I would like to go water eventually but not ready to take the plunge yet. Still would like to try this board, the price is right now.
 
Yep for the premium and the benefits for the parts that you stick in it... its worth it for sure.
only just getting to know a bit about it but for the same speeds as previous its a quick clear smooth running improvement... with tons of features. Winner!
See what it can do once everythings checked out and im in the know.
