chris78 · Dec 30, 2013

I am ordering a fx8350 and a corsair h60 soon but by the looks of it I will have to take out the graphics card out of the pci express slot 1 and plug it into the second one will this be okay otherwise the h60 will not fit ?

I have a gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 motherboard!

Yes it will still work.

You can have the pump mounted in any direction by the way.

why would ya want to unless ya motherboard has pci-e 3.0 (1st slot x16 second slot x8) if ya don't have 3.0 on the x8 slot surely it'll run that FRACTION slower older comps are 2.0 oops sorry just read ya using fx with a particular cooler wait instead of that cooler try the ENERMAX ETA cannot remember code i use it on my amd piledriver machine it's a really good cooler chjeck it out on web and will save you alot of SPACE so that ya can use the x16 slot

both of my pci express slots are 2.0 x 16 ?

huilun02 · Dec 30, 2013

Just to make sure, have the card run on the slot labelled 'PCIEX16_2'

The second long slot is actually an X4.

then 100% try not to use second slot you WILL LOSE PERFORMANCE try another cooler as to use the x16 slot the other slots are really for SLI,CROSSFIRE

chris78 :

ARE YOU ACTUALLY SURE THEY ARE BOTH x16 mine board goes 1. x16 2. x8 3. x4 3.0 make sure they are with your motherboard specs if that is the case then there should be no reason wey it will not work may have to switch it in bios to use it as primary not sure though

huilun02 :

reason i asked is that i have built a number of comps and to datew not come across a board with 2x pcie-e x16 slots i'm not saying ya can't just have not thats why i though they brought out the pcvi-e 3.0 so that the x8 would be like 2.0 x16

huilun02 · Dec 30, 2013

They are both true X16 according to the product page. Even if it's X8, he won't see any performance loss.
