EVGA 680i video card issue.

[wilson82]

I have the 680i board and am trying to run my video card (radeon x1900xtx) on the bottom pci-e slot to allow for better cable management. The problem I am having is that when I boot up my system I receive a warning that i must move my vid card from pci-e slot 2 to pci-e slot 1 and restart. Ive looked around in the bios to see if there is a way to disable slot 1, or make slot 2 my primary pci-e slot. Sadly I've had no luck. I am wondering if anyone else with a 680i board or a SLI board has tried to run their Vid cards in the secondary slot with success, and if so HOW did you do it. Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think it's possible to do it. The second slot is reserved for SLI use. It's just the way the board is.

Thats what im startin to think, but i hope its possible, This thread shows someone (M.K.D) with a 680i board with there vid card in pci-e2. Was that just for show, or did he actually get his system to run with it in his second slot. Help.
