Do you expect that i will run into troubles to get this card installed. I dont think so because the card has no cooler on the bottom.
I have a ASUS EN7300GT Silent installed with room to spare.

Secondly: Can you tell me: is the PCI x1 slot useless in your system configuration due to the graphic card? I.e. is the PCI x1 port hidden due to the graphic card?
No, but if I plug something into it will be tight - probably nearly touching the heatsink on the gfx card.

Thirdly i want to install a TV Card (click) with CI Slot. Since Expansion slots are very rarely on this board, what do you think: Do i run into trouble to use also the second PCI slot?

Sorry, misread that. What's a "CI" slot?


BTW, the upgrade for the wireless network driver from Microsoft/ Realtek has definitely fixed the WifFi issues. It is very stable now.
