SLI question
So I recently got another 560ti and have a Sli question. I am running them on a Gigabyte X79-UD3 which has 4 pci express slots. I am currently using the top two. I was wondering if any of you knew if using the third slot would effect performance?

Your board from top slot to bottom goes 16x 16x 8x 8x. However I do not think the Ti would use more than an 8x. IMO
X79 has 40 2.0 lanes.RIG:i7-3770k @4.6Ghz/ASUS P8Z77 Deluxe/GSkill DDR3-2400/2xHD7970/Vertex 4/SSonic Plat 1000/H100/HAF XB

This. You're fine no matter what slot you put them in. Originally Posted by Joshua_Mahr

Yea I'm considering switching my cards around too. It will look goofy but it bugs me when my top 580 hits 98c. Originally Posted by James86

So it looks like my MSI 560ti is running really hott!
I moved the gigabyte one down to the third slot and when I run Furmark the MSI one reaches 100c and throttles
I'm gonna take it out and look at the cooler for hair and maybe reapply TIM to the heatsink and see what that does
