Hi,
I''ve gotten these specs for X99a Godlike Gaming from MSI's website and just need some clarification on what they mean.
Slots
• 5 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots (PCI_E1~E4, PCI_E6), support up to 4-way mode
- 1-way mode: x16/ x0/ x0/ x0/ x0
- 2-way mode: x16/ x0/ x0/ x16/ x0*, x16/ x0/ x0/ x8/ x0**
- 3-way mode: x16/ x0/ x0/ x16/ x8*, x8/ x8/ x0/ x8/ x0**
- 4-way mode: x8/ x8/ x0/ x16/ x8*, x8/ x8/ x0/ x8/ x4**
* For the CPU that supports 40 PCIe lanes
** For the CPU that supports 28 PCIe lanes
Does x16/ x0/ x0/ x16/ x0 in dual SLI mode with 40 lanes mean a GPU in the first slot and one in the fourth?
Why does it have two x0s in between the x16s? I would've thought dual SLI would be something like x16/ x16/ x0/ x0/ x0...
thanks for the help
