In single VGA card mode, use first the PCIe 2.0 x16_1 slot for a PCI
Express x16 graphics card to get better performance.
•
In CrossFireX™ mode, use the PCIe 2.0 x16_1 and PCIe 2.0 x16_3 (or
PCIe 2.0 x16_5) slots for PCI Express x16 graphics carsds to get better
) slots for PCI Express x16 graphics carsds to get better
performance.
•
In 2-Way SLI™ mode, use the following slot combinations for PCI Express
x16 graphics cards to get better performance:
PCIe 2.0 x16_1 and PCIe 2.0 x16_3 slots
PCIe 2.0 x16_3 and PCIe 2.0 x16_5 slots
PCIe 2.0 x16_1 and PCIe 2.0 x16_5 slots
•
In 3-Way SLI™ mode, use the PCIe 2.0 x16_1, PCIe 2.0 x16_3 and PCIe 2.0
x16_5 slots for PCI Express x16 graphics cards to get better performance.
•
When using the PCIe 2.0 x16_1, PCIe 2.0 x16_3 and PCIe 2.0 x16_5 slots
for 3-Way SLI™ mode, the three slots will work at x16 link while PCIe 2.0
x16_2 and PCIe 2.0 x16_4 slots are not occupied.
•
We recommend that you provide sufficient power when running
CrossFireX™ or SLI™ mode. See page 2-31 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 2-29 for details.
