Hello,

Im looking around for a motherboard Socket 1150.

So the new graphic cards use 2 or 3 PCIe slots, but let say they use 2.

I got this socket 775 mobo now and an GTX 650 Ti Boost, wich uses 1 slots, on my mobo also is just 1 slots.

But how does it work when u need 2 slots, do they have to be in an exact spot, because when i'm looking for these slots they're always on a different place with different gaps between the slots.
So how does these graphic cards fit into place?

Pleace explain!

Thanks in advance!

As Knight_of_baawa states, the cards only have one PCI-Ex16 pinout to plug into the PCI-Ex16 expansion slot, but it's the cooling shroud (heatsink and fan) that extends over the second or third expansion slot.
