    GC slot question


    Im adding some watercooling and plan on upgrading my motherboard and cpu but my question is setup of the graphics card. My mobo has 3 pci express x16 slots marked pciex16_1 pciex16_2 pciex16_3. I want to know if i can put my graphics card into slot 2 instead of slot 1. Is there any loss of performance being the 2nd slot being there both x16?

    As long as you only run 1 card it will run at x16

    Why do you want it in slot #2 ??

    Most likely because it covers the chipset logo in slot 1
