ASRock Fatal1ty Z97-Killer, Crossfire, SB Recon3D PCIe issue.

theusmale2 · Sep 16, 2014

I have 2 Radeon HD 5770 1GB eh. In my PCIe 2 & 4 slots: working in Crossfire Mode; But when I plug in my Sound Blaster Recon3D PCIe into an available PCIe x1 lane which has a 32 bit interface slot (the same as PCIe2 (my 1st video card), It disables my 2nd card in crossfire mode. So I changed my SB to the PCIe 3 x1 slot but find that my PCIe 4 will run in x2 mode, disabling my 2nd card in crossfire mode. So I need to know how do I use my SB card and have crossfire also? Does anybody have this kind of knowledge?

i dont understand the 2 red slots are your pcie x16/8x8 for crossfire

looks like according to this if you use more than the 2 pci-e slots the 2ed pci-e slot is shared with the rest and you put in the 3ed card it reduced down as like you say

Thank you bud but It seems to be completely impossible to do what I want. I have bought the wrong MB No doubt about it! Should have bought the ASRock Killer Z97x board.

well im suer it a great board but as i said with intel the slots configurations need to be looked at hard on then this is my first ever intel build and uses amd for the last 14 years and this was a pain to look at for me and i thought ''how stupid'' , but i do enjoy this intel more that i did my last am3 let downs ..

so any way theres a bit more homework when choosing a intel board than a amd one

about the sme with it the intel way is to pay the big money for the boards with a plx chip on them

The later run in the typical setup, which means x16 with one used, x8/x8 with two used, and x8/x4/x4 if all three are used
