In single VGA card mode, use the PCIe 3.0 x16_1 slot (gray) for a PCI Express x16
graphics card to get better performance.
•
We recommend that you provide sufficient power when running SLI™ or CrossFireX™
mode. See page 1-22 for details.
•
Connect a chassis fan to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1/2/3 when
using multiple graphics cards for better thermal environment.
