Inexpensive motherboard with PCI-E x1 not blocking my video card?

[GoStumpy]

I bought a PCI-E sound card, went to install it today only to find that my one PCI-E x1 slot is beneath my dual-slot video card! :thumbsdown:

Can't return the sound card, I bought it too long ago and waited too long to install it

Motherboard I have is a BIOSTAR TH67+.

Main computer in my signature is the one in question...

Thanks for any help!

This looks like a nice board, and would allow me to upgrade to a 2500k in the future, but I wouldn't classify it as inexpensive....

you do know that you can plug that x1 sound card into any pci-e slot, not just the x1 slots, don't you. even that x16 that you aren't using.

ah fuck.

:sneaky:

You should be able to plug the sound card in to the second PCI-E x16 slot if it isn't being used already
