Using an EVGA 8800GTX card on a GA-P35-DQ6

[BurningMan]

How well does an EVGA 8800GTX 768MB KO ACS3 fit in a GA-P35-DQ6 board? My main concern is that the card is so big that it may block some of the components on the DQ6. This is the 8800GTX version that comes with the additional cooling which makes it even bigger than a standard 8800GTX.

Got any pics of the card? A regular 8800 GTX fits fine, I've got a DQ6 here. It's jsut a little close to the RAM slots, thats where you might have problems with the EVGA.

Here's an image of an 8800GTX with ACS3 (extra cooling):

In looking at the DQ6...

...I see what you mean about the 8800GTX being close to the RAM slots if the card is placed in the blue PCIe slot. I wonder if the ACS3 version is the same or worse? And I'm assuming that the 8800GTX can't use the orange PCIe slot since it would block the SATA connectors?
