mode, please install the PCI Express x16 graphics
cards on PCIE1 and PCIE2 slots. Therefore, PCIE1 will work at x16
bandwidth, while PCIE2 works at x4 bandwidth.
3. Please connect a chassis fan to the motherboard’s chassis fan
connector (CHA_FAN1) when using multiple graphics cards for better
thermal environment.
