This motherboard supports two SLI-ready PCI Express x16 graphics cards
that comply with the PCI Express specifications. The figure shows two
graphics card installed on the PCI Express x16 slots.
See Chapter 6 for details on the SLI technology feature.
• In Single Card mode, we recommend that you use the blue slot for
PCI Express x16 graphics cards.
• In SLI mode, the PCI Express x16 slots work at the full bandwidth of
PCI Express x16 on each slot for a combined bandwidth of x32.
• Install a rear chassis fan to either the chassis (CHA_FAN1) or
Northbridge (NB_FAN) connectors when using two graphics cards
for better thermal environment. See page 2-36 for details.
• Connect the EZ Plug™ when using two graphics cards and a 20-pin
ATX power supply, or if the graphics cards do not have auxiliary
power plugs.
