VGA configuration Single VGA/PCIe card Dual VGA/PCIe card Triple VGA/PCIe card PCI Express operating mode PCIe x16_1 PCIe x16_2 PCIe x16_3 x16 (Recommend for single VGA) x8 (PCIe card) x8 (PCIe card) x16 x16 x1 x16 x16 x1 x16 x8 x8 • In single VGA card mode, use first the PCIe 2.0 x16_1 slot (blue) for a PCI Express x16 graphics card to get better performance. • In CrossFireX™ or SLI™ mode, use the PCIe 2.0 x16_1 (blue) and PCIe 2.0 x16_2 (white) slots for PCI Express x16 graphics cards to get better performance. • Use the three PCIe 2.0 x16 slots for 3-Way CrossFireX™ mode. • If you install a PCIe x16 graphics card on to the PCIe x16_1 slot, a PCIe device with a bandwidth faster than x8 link to the PCIe x16_2 slot, and a PCIe device with a bandwidth slower than x4 link to the PCIe x16_3 slot, the three PCIe x16 slots will work at x16, x16, x1 link as the default. • If you install a PCIe x16 graphics card on to the PCIe x16_1 slot, a PCIe device with a bandwidth slower than x8 link to the PCIe x16_2 slot, and a PCIe device with a bandwidth faster than x4 link to the PCIe x16_3 slot, the three PCIe x16 slots will work at x16, x8, x8 link as the default. • You may manually reassign the link width of PCIe x16_2 and PCIe x16_3 slots in BIOS settings. See page 3-25 for details. • We recommend that you provide sufficient power when running CrossFireX™ or SLI™ mode. See page 2-35 for details. • Connect a chassis fan to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1/2/3 when using multiple graphics cards for better thermal environment. See page 2-33 for details.
