•
We recommend that you provide sufficient power when running CrossFireX™ or SLI
®
mode.
•
Connect a chassis fan to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1-3 when
using multiple graphics cards for better thermal environment.
•
4th generation Intel
®
Core™ processors support PCIe 3.0 speed rate.
•
When the system is running with four VGA cards, ensure to connect the EZ PLUG_1/2
for extra PCIe power supply.
•
PCIe 3.0/2.0_x16/x8_1 slot switches to x8 mode when other PCIe 3.0/2.0 slots are
occupied.
•
PCIe 3.0/2.0_x8_B2 slot will be disabled when
PCIe 3.0/2.0_x16_A2, PCIe 3.0/2.0_
x8_3, PCIe 3.0/2.0_x8_4 slots are occupied.
