It can be mounted horizontally or vertically. The bracket screws onto the bottom in either orientation and doesn't get in the way. I have it vertically in another PC already.
Thanks. I would have my cooler oriented vertically. Making a new wire should be simple for me. I'd prefer not to have to move it in case it reduces efficiency, but the OCZ Reaper is the cheaper choice than other RAM with smaller heat sinks.
What about the Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P versus the GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-DS4H? Will a large video card in the second PCI slot block the SATA ports on the DS4H?
Even the Patriot Viper series would block it. However if I move up the heat sink fan a half inch it will probably fit even the OCZ Reaper. I'm not sure how much that will be a detriment to the cooling of the CPU.
I don't have the RAM ordered yet. I was going to go AM2+ due to it being cheaper and having cheaper DDR2 memory. Same reason for the FX unless there is one in the same price range as the ones I listed.
I need a board with SB750 and 790X/GX. I want a board that is good to overclock with and is stable. I'll probably be running two cards in Crossfire in the future.
This is my setup:
Phenom II 955
Radeon 4870 1GB
4x2GB DDR2 1066 RAM
Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.B 0A38016 1TB
LG GH22LS50 SATA...

Any help ASAP would be appreciated as I need to buy the RAM tonight.
I'd like to get this motherboard Over the MSI DKA790GX and the Foxconn A7DA-S, but from the pictures it looks like it will block my...
