Which UD5 board are you getting?

You will probably have an issue if you try to use the PCIe x1 slot as the heatsink can cause a problem. Have a look at this thread: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,5704.0.html and you will see what I mean.

That said, you should be able to use one of the PCIe x4 slots without a problem.
