Don't understand the 5th PCI-e slot. Seems superfluous.

If you don't need to run a dual-slot GPU in slot 2, you can instead use slots 2 and 3 for two single-slot devices, like PCIe SSDs, 10Gbps network cards or disk controllers. Depending on the number of PCIe expansion slots in the case, you can still run two or three dual-slot GPUs on top of that.

Can't wait to see to CPU coolers for that "socket"! Hi-rise/tulip shaped air-coolers, for those not going under water?
