Hi there,
1 of my pci-e 1x slots is too close to my duel slot gpu, causing it to overheat when my sound card is placed there, i am forced into having it in the remaining pci-e 1x slot above the gfx card. This brings its own problem. i cannot have my ram placed in slots 1a and 2a, or 1b and 2b. i have no option but to use slots 2a and 2b
.
So my question is how much performance am i loosing in this set up, over a duel channel one?
If it makes any odds, im running ddr2 corsair xms2 800MHz (5-5-5-18) @ 755MHz (ish still playing) @ 4-4-3-10
Thanks.
