I was wondering if D5400XS motherboard would support 4x PCI-E cards.

I am going to use 3ware 9650SE 4 channel RAID controller card which needs electrical 4x PCIE slot. so the problem is, would the motherboard automatically adjust (decrease) number of lanes?????

help me out plz..

edit: the motherboard has 4 PCI-E 16x slots, which are dynamically allocated from two 16x lanes.
 
how many GPU's are you running? if only one, you should be fine, but the thing with a skulltrail is that as you said, it only has 2x 16X speed lanes, but 4 slots, meaning only 2 GPU's, if you only have one GPU, you should be fine, but if you have 2, you may have big problems with it.

(if i'm wrong danny bui or whoever, please correct me :D)
 
THX for the reply.
Well, I installed the 4x card and it works great. I have another 16x card and both are fine.
So I guess the mobo supports 4x.
 
pics? would also be interested to see the speed of the drives attatched to that card compared to say, the onboard ports...
