Just make sure that you have the video card in the right x16 slot. there are 2 - x16 and 2 - x8 slots.
Does CCC pick it up so you can adjust the fan speed. Does the card get hotter in that slot vs the other one.
I don't know how your board is laid out. Mine x58 board is x16 - x8 - x16 - Pci - x8. If it is laid out the same.
Then the SSD will be in slot 1 and the video card in slot 3.
I don,t know what ccc is. my board also is x16 - x8 - x16 - Pci - x8. I put the revo in first slot witch is x16 and the graphic card in the third sot witch is also x16. But i don't know if its right. There is a note is the manual witch said
"for optimum performance , if only one pciex graphics card is to be installed be sure to install it in the pciex16_1slot. If you are installing two pcie cards its recommended that you install them in pciex16_1 and pciex16_2 slots.'
Also there is another note that said
"the pciex8_1 and pciex8_2 slots share bandwidth with the pciex16_1 and pciex_2 slots respectively. When pciex8_1 is populated with an expansion card the pciex16_1 slot will operate at up to x8 mode. When pciex8_2 is populated with an expansion card the pciex16_2 slot will operate at up to x8 mode"
So i am confused. If the pcie_16_1 slot does not share bandwidth with pciex_16_2 slot then why its recommended to put the card in the first slot? And if the pciex16_1 share bandwidth with pciex8_1 slot and the same with pcie_16_2 and pciex8_2 then i must not place the revo and graphic card in a pair that share bandwidth.
Know i have put the expansion cards in this order
1 slot pciex16_1 revodrive
2 slot pciex8_1 expansion card with com port
3 slot pciex16_2 ati firepro v7800
4 slot pci fax- modem expansion card
5 slot pciex8_2 empty
my motherboard has also two pciex1 slots before the 1 pciex16_1 slot witch are empty.
Are my cards in the correct order or should i change the order of revo and firepro?
i said again that i place the firepto in the third slot for better air workflow
thank you
