I have a an Audigy 2 ZS and just ordered a Chaintech AV-710 so that I could have the best of both worlds. There's just one problem with that:

This board is really cramped. The red is the only slot available for the AV-710, and the black is where the Audigy 2 ZS is. You can't really see it in that pic, so I boxed it. I don't think my 6800GS is going to have any room to breath, especially with the Zalman heatsink. Should this pose any serious problem?
 
I have the Zalman VF900-Cu on my 7900GT and it blocks one of my PCI slots. But my bottom slot is open. On yours, I think you might have problems with overheating because of the cramped situation. Try it and see what kind of temps you get.
 
OK, I tried it and the temperatures on the video card haven't increased. The AV-710 is really short, so only a little less than half of the VF-700 is obstructed. So it's not too bad.

Thanks.
