Would I be able to fit a double/dual slot graphics card in the Gigabyte GA-M720-US3 motherboard?

Hi, I am hoping to buy an ASUS EAH3650 SILENT/HTDI/512M Graphics card and put it in a Gigabyte GA-M720-US3 motherboard. What my problem is, however, is that this graphics card takes up 2 slots (the normal bit at the bottom with a passive cooler taking up the top bit, see here: http://uk.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=o4NwT0sA5Yz8CAHK&templete=2
On page 17 of this manual for the motherboard, however: http://europe.giga-byte.com/FileList/Manual/motherboard_manual_ga-m720-us3_e.pdf
it shows that there are two PCI-E x1 slots above the x16 one. What I want to know is, would I be able to put the graphics card in the x16 slot, with the passive cooler covering a PCI-E x1 slot, or would it just not fit?

It will fit fine, i have a very large card and it covers the pci under my pci-e16, they wouldn't make a card that unless it fits in 99.99% of motherboards
