2 questions regarding fans and pcie slot

Hey!

I am in the process of putting together a new system and ran into 2 problems.
My board is the Maximus VI Extreme.

1.) The system is using a single watercooled 780ti with a backplate. The card will not fit into the first pcie slot due to the backplate being too thick and colliding with the internal silver audio port box.

Is it OK to put the card into pcie A2 if only using a single card?


2.) I am using 5 Noctua NF P-12 PWN fans to cool the radiators. It is possible to use Y-cables to connect 2 fans to 1 motherboard fan connector or will the load be too much?

Data for the fans:
Max. Input Power 0,6 W
Max. Input Current 0,05 A
Voltage 12 V

Thanks in advance for any replies!
