In single VGA card mode, use first the PCIe 2.0 x16_1 slot (beige) for a PCI Express

x16 graphics card to get better performance.

In CrossFireX™ or SLI™ mode, use the PCIe 2.0 x16_1 (beige) and PCIe 2.0 x16_2

(black) slots for PCI Express x16 graphics cards to get better performance.

We recommend that you provide sufficient power when running CrossFireX™ or SLI™

mode. See page 2-37 for details.

Connect a chassis fan to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1/2 when using

multiple graphics cards for better thermal environment. See page 2-35 for details.
