• In single VGA card mode, use the PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16_1 slot (gray) for a PCI Express
x16 graphics card to get better performance.
• We recommend that you provide sufcient power when running CrossFireX™ mode.
• Connect a chassis fan to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1/2/3 when
using multiple graphics cards for better thermal environment.
• The PCIe x1_1 and PCIe x1_2 slots share bandwidth with the PCIe x16_2 slot.
The PCIe x16_2 slot runs at x2 mode as default. Please check BIOS for more
conguration.
