As long as it is a PCI-E slot. Not clear on the potential problem.

It looks close in that picture but if you go to Newegg and look up that same mobo, there's a picture from the side view and it looks like it should fit okay. Only possible exception might be the video cards that have the extra large cooler on them that takes up the next PCI slot beside the PCI-E slot too. Those usually aren't that long on the second slot where it'd hit the fan either though, I don't think. What video card are you talking about putting in there?

I don't think there will be any problem with that card fitting. Yeah, there's a little capacitor out there on the end of it, but that fan isn't very tall to begin with, so even if that cap does reach the fan, I think it'll actually still be above it. Feel free to wait for a second opinion if you like though. Someone else around here may know differently or have hands-on experience with that particular board.
