Hi

Ive just bought an Asus Z270F Gaming MB and about to install everything however, my old MB only had 1 PCI Express for the GPU so there was no choice. This Asus has 2, Does it matter which i plug the GPU into?

I would prefer the bottom slot as there is more fresh airflow in my case at the bottom as the top is used as exhuast.

Correct - it does not make a difference which slot you use - just choose whichever is best for cooling purposes.
