Hey guys,
I was looking at the board explorer on the motherboard, and it notified me that my second pcie 3.0 slot was an x8 slot. My first slot is a pcie 3.0 x16 slot. On the data sheet, it says that this motherboard has two pcie x16 3.0 slots. Is there some kind of issue?

Im trying to run crossfire gpus, and although x16 vs x8 does not make much of a difference in performance, I am just curious as to why my second slot says its running at x8. Thats not what it says online.

Any responses will be greatly appreciated!
