RIVBE: Is GTX 780Ti in PCIe 8x slot an issue?

[Cubesk]

Hi,

Just got all my parts together with the awsome RIVBE motherboard and my cooler is slightly interfering into the upper most PCIe 16x slot for my only GTX 780Ti.
Main question: Is there an issue or a downside when i put it into the lower PCIe 8x slot?

Thx

if it works in that slot then no, no performance loss at all.
but best would be to run it in slot 1.

Most of the time the cooler will not touch the card, I wonder if the cooler is not fitted optimally.
