I have an evga 780i motherboard with three PCIe x16 lanes. I plan to get the Thermalright HR-03 GT vga cooler, but that thing is a monster. I have the Rocketfish case and have some cushion between the last PCIe and psu.
First question: Can 8800GTS go into any PCIe x16 slot?
Second question: Putting it in the last slot seems to be the best option at the moment, minimizing the number of slots I block. But it's right above the psu (Thermaltake 850W modular). I have not connected everything yet, so I don't know how much heat the pus will give off... but is would putting the 8800GTS with the HR-03 GT right about the psu be advisable?
