Hey guys,
I recently bought an ASUS Maximus VI Hero PCIEX1_1 for an SLI build with a PCIE sound card (Xonar Xense). The top PCIE 1x slot (PCIEX1_1, precisely) doesn't seem to work for the sound card as nothing gets detected. It works fine in the second x1 slot so I know the card is good, however if I put it in the second x1 slot the card itself blocks the fan of one of my GPU which hinders airflow and can raise its temperature real high, which is a problem. And since I'm using SLI, the second card blocks the third x1 slot. So my only option is to use the first x1 slot, which is not working. I googled around a little bit before posting this and people say for mobos there are certain BIOS settings that either enable or disable certain PCIE slots. The only noticeable thing I found about this mobo is that if the 4_3 slot is set to x4 speed, 1_1/2/3 will be disabled. So I have made sure it's set to x1 speed, and 1_2 is working, but 1_1 is not. No other component is broken because I have tested them on another motherboard and they are all running fine. Can someone help?
