PCIex1_2 and PCI2x1_3 not working

PCIex1_2 and PCI2x1_3 not working
« on: July 26, 2017, 05:28:24 am »
I have Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P mobo which has

3 x PCIex1 slots, 1
1 x PCIex16 slot,
1 x PCIex4 slot,
1 x PCI1 slot and
1 x PCI2 slot.

Product Image - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CX4MUCC.

PCIex1 riser plugged in PCIex1_1 - works
GTX 1060 plugged in PCIex16 - works
GTX 1060 plugged in PCIex4 - works
risers plugged in on PCIex1_2 and PCIex1_3 are not getting detected.

Somewhere I read that if I use PCIex4 then PCIex1_2 and PCIex1_3 will get disabled. Assuming that is true, I removed GTX 1060 from PCIex4 slot and I see still those 2 slot do not get detected..

Am I missing anything here.

I also read somewhere that if I plug PCIex1 riser in PCIex4 slot I should be able to use PCIex1_2 and PCIex1_3 but even that is not what is happening...

Please advice..
