Help with this problem please.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be on the VGA forum or in here since it addresses cooling of a video card so move it as you see fit.

Recently bought a new motherboard that takes both PCI-E and AGP video cards. its the model ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 LGA 775 from here:

I already had an AGP radeon x1950 PRO with the huge stock cooler. shown here:

Problem I have is that the cooler from the AGP blocks the PCI-E slot!!! I want to use an extra PCI-E card so I can keep my quad setup, but I cannot find any coolers that will use pipes to draw the heat into a high raise and into the side so I can fit the other vid card. Also, the motherboard will not ouput video via PCI when you have an AGP or PCI-E card. So AGP + PCI =NO , PCI-E + PCI = NO only PCI-E + AGP work together.

Any suggestion?? All the high rise coolers I have found are only for the back of the vid cards..... any help to point me in the right direction is greatly appreciated. Im hoping there is something like this out there but for the front of the card instead of the back:

Thanks in advance.

This looks like it can be mounted behind the video card so it will only block the slot above which it looks like there isn't one. As long as it doesn't block the main ATX power plug I see there and it should be plenty far away from the CPU cooler.
