Hi there, i know the board has 4x x16 slots, that will run in 8x mode once you populate two of them. I'm interested in a new motherboard due to my old z68 having the 16x slots so close together my top 290 card cooks with the gellid cooler due to there being no room for the card to draw air and i would like to keep them apart as possible while they run in 8x mode for cross fire.
My question is are the 4 pcie 16x 3.0 slots on this gigabyte mix and match? can i use any two of them and they will still run in 8x mode, or do i have to use the top most 2 for 8x?
