Both heatsinks look like they are lower underneath where the card would extend from the PCIe x1 slot. But you can run the sound card in any x1/x4/x8/x16 slot. My DX is running in slot 3 in my Classified, originally because it was too long to fit with the stock heatsink and now because I just like it better there for the wiring. That's something to consider as well, because you have both front panel wires and a power wire to the board. Great card though.
