The primary top PCI-E 16x slot Asus Z87-a board is dying. (i think one of the contacts in the slot is damaged)
Ive been using the second slot, but I just got upgraded my video card I don't want to hobble it,If I use the second port alone is there any actual performance loss?
The manual says "In single VGA card mode, use the PCIe 3.0/2.0 x 16_1 slot (yellow) for a PCIe x16 graphics card to get better performance" ... Ive also read iabout othe rmobo's anyway it really doens't matter ?
The board is 18 mos old so still under warranty, I rather not go through the hassle of an RMA if I dont have to (I will never use SLI..)
