Download the latest driver from the NVIDIA website (www. nvidia.com). 3. Make sure that your power supply unit (PSU) can provide at least the minimum power required by your system. Enjoy the benefit of SLITM Step 1. Step 2. Adjust the jumpers on this motherboard to enable PCIE1 slot (PCIE x 8) and PCIE3 slot (PCIE x 8).
