Chapter 1

In single VGA card mode, use the PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16_1 slot (yellow) for a PCI Express

x16 graphics card to get better performance.

We recommend that you provide sufficient power when running CrossFireX™.

Connect a chassis fan to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1-3 when

using multiple graphics cards for better thermal environment.

The PCIe x16_2 slot shares bandwidth with PCIe x1_1 and PCIe x2 slots. The default

setting is x2 mode. Go to the BIOS Setup to change the settings.
