Board info: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4484#ov

Now my Question. my board say it will do 16x,0,0,0 / 8x,8x,0,0, / 8x,4x,4x,0 / 8x,4x,4x,4x Last 4 on a PLX chip.

so.... if i run 2 cards it will be 8x,8x,0,0 but i want better air flow to the second card so can i drop it down one slot and get 8x,0,8x,0 or will it lower down to 4x? the slots are all pinned upto 8x.

and.... if i use a 1x pcie sound card will it drop the lains down? say 8x4x1x as it take bandwidth


Pcie is soooo confusing :D
 
:P yep i am stupid, i did think. i know moving the second card down one slot would cover the bottom x1 and forgot it would also uncover one of the x1's for me to use :D

thanks haha
