it will work at the full 16x speed with no problems.

Thats what I needed to know!

(although I now may wait on the x48 chipset)
but this info will pertain to any build I make.


Seems that way to me.

Yep. Waiting for X48.

But did you see the just released Asus Maximus Extreme (not even at Newegg yet)?!?!?

They sure are making it hard to wait.

Re: Which PCIe 16x Slot?

If it don't matter which slot...better use the position which gives more cooling, also important.

I am using a slotcooler beneath, works like a charm
IDLE 49C, LOAD I think 56C

Nice day all !!
