Hey i was wondering, tp those that own the above board does the integrated WiFi take up the highest PCI slot, or does it fit in the back panel of stuff, this would be crucial to me as I would have to move my F*cking watercooling to a different slot

As you can see in the pics the WiFi is connected above the upmost PCI-E 1x slot.

I do see that I just didn't know whether asus had made it so it is included in the backpanel or whether it goes into the first pci slot(when I say this I mean on the casse where it ould connect, as that is where my watercooling is in the first pci rail as it is external and feeds through to the inside) So if any body here actually owns the board I would like to know if it occupies the topmost PCI bay on the computer or if it is built into the backpanel

I'm not 100% sure, but it does look a lot like it's integrated into the backpanel, so don't worry ;)

The max number of PCI slots I have user seen on a store bought board is seven(7) so if you take a look where it is situated, it is located with all the rest of the I/O connectors.

So enough with all the guesses and this should be proof enough:
(Green circle indicates where the WiFi connector goes on the I/O backplate.)
