Zagen... yes.  Depending on the motherboard design... Some are possibly different but on my machine both the upper and lower slots run at 16X.  No problem.  I also like the separation of cards for cooling.

This may be a stupidly obvious question, but is it possible to move your second card to the third PCIe slot?

Unfortunately this is not one of those boards :( The lower slot, the black one, is only a 4x slot- so I wouldn't be able to utilize SLI and since this is my only PC, that's not really an option

Hi, just started folding a bit since I built my new/used rig (Been on a P4 for almost 10 years). Kind of just doing CPU stress testing with it at this point. Might as well put the electricity for it to good use... Having some stability issues but I think it's voltage related, as the motherboard defaulted to some low voltages for the cpu and ram. Will be tearing down a GTX 480 that I just picked up cheap, remove any dust under the shroud, sand the heatsink and apply some high-end thermal paste. Then I'll be seeing how much I can undervolt the 480 to try and tame the heat and power usage.
 
 It's getting warm so I can't be heating the room too much but when winter comes, I will be setting it up in lieu of a space heater. I may go ahead and try to fold for the EVGA bucks anyways, since I am super conservative on utilities but one of my roommates is grossly wasteful. I might as well get my money's worth!

Welcome!
You'll be fine for the bucks if you only fold the 460@stock 24/7 + CPU when you sleep.
You've just joined the greatest team going!
