• In Normal mode, only the PCI Express blue slot can be used for PCI
Express x16 graphics cards. The PCI Express black slot functions as
a PCI Express x1 slot.
• In SLI mode, the PCI Express x16 slots work at the bandwidth of PCI
Express x8. The combined bandwidth of these maintain the
bandwidth of PCI Express x16.
• See the table below for possible PCI Express card configurations.
• Install a chassis fan when using two graphics cards for better
thermal environment.
• Connect the EZ Plug™ when using two graphics cards for stable
performance.
