hi i have thought about one thing. can the Creative Sound Blaster z fit in the MSI z97 Gaming 7. the creative webpage says the card fits pci-e x1, but i don't see one on the MoBo. so can it fit?

 

I'm located in Denmark

feel free to reply i will be grateful

 

the MSI Z97 Gaming 7 has 4 PCI-Ex1 slots. you can use the SoundBlaster Z on this motherboard

Is there any reason you need it? The audio on my z87 gaming edition is really good as far as I know its the same on the z97

 

Its probably similar to that sound blaster pci card, However this will definitely work if you need it

 

The built-in headphone amplifier allows you to use studio-grade headgear and get the most amazing sound quality out of your gaming PC.
• Studio level Integrated 600Ω Headphone amplifier
• Golden audio jacks for pure audio signals
• EMI shielded audio codec
• High quality audio capacitors
