Unfortunately Abit has gone for the "single PCI slot underneath the second PCI-Express x16 slot" again, which is confusing since Mr. Wendel has "influence on the design" of the board. Since he also endorses the Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty series, you'd think that he would make sure you can run high end SLI graphics cards which usually involve dual slot coolers, along with a PCI Fatal1ty X-Fi sound card.
