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

x16 graphics card to get better performance.

In CrossFireX™ or SLI™ mode, use the PCIe 2.0 x16_1 and PCIe 2.0 x16_2 slots for

PCI Express x16 graphics cards to get better performance.

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

mode. Refer to page 2-25 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 2-23 for details.
