I've got a 970 Extreme4 with BIOS 2.60. This board has 3 PCIe x16 slots. When I connect my e-GeForce 9600 GSO video card into the PCIe2 and PCIe4 slots, I get no video. When I use it in PCIe5 it works.
Here's the problem. PCIe5 is at the bottom of the board with only one case slot, but the card is double wide, so it can't fit there. Not just because there's no slot 2nd slot under it, it would also have to occupy the same physical space as my PSU.
I saw this in the manual;
PCIE2 / PCIE4 (PCIE x16 slot; Blue) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards, or used to install PCI Express graphics cards to support SLITM and CrossFireXTM function.
PCIE5 (PCIE x16 slot; Blue) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width cards, or used to install PCI Express graphics cards to support 3-Way CrossFireXTM function.
I can't find anything about my card being x4 or x16 on the EVGA website EVGA - Product Specs - e-GeForce 9600 GSO
Any thoughts?
