Any better ideas? They did this rather than replace my mobo. I'm liking the idea of a fanless solution, but the chipset is right in line w/ the 1st PCIe slot. Right now I stuck my 6600gt in the 2nd PCIe slot, but it says its running at x2 speeds now. 🙁 obviously not ideal. Any ideas for a fix that won't entail too much chopping?
