Z77X-UD3H, PCIE slots

[zerospace]

hi everyone,

need some info on Z77X-UD3H mobo and its pcie slots, how to setup cards

gfx card wil go to PCIEX16, and I have 2 more pcie cards, both are x1 (sound and tv tuner)
if one goes to PCIEX4 slot, will other PCIEX1 slots be available? from GB website

 3.1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4)
 * The PCIEX4 slot shares bandwidth with all PCI Express x1 slots. All PCI Express x1 slots will become unavailable when a PCIe x4 expansion card is installed. 
  

not sure if this means x1 slots are unavailable only if x4 card is used in PCIEX4 slot or when any card is used in x4 slot, even x1 card like in my case.

was planing to use PCIEX4 and PCIEX1_3 slots for x1 cards, will that work?

It means if a PCIE card installed on PCIEX4 clot other PCIEX1 slots will not work.

oh well, not buying gigabyte then...


edit:
just got reply from gigabyte support, finaly, totaly forgot about email I sent them.
they said that it will work, pciex4 slot will run as x1 in this case and I can also use some other pciex1 slot for other card

oh well, I might be buying gigabyte then after all :)
