I just ordered a Xonar D2X, I have an ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA MB, The black pcie slot is reserved for the Supreme FX II sound card, can I put the Xonar D2X in there.
Or would it be better to use the last PCIE slot to keep it away from my GeForce GTX 260.
Thanks
use another PCIe. I think you got no choice actually as IIRC Asus has voluntarily inverted the slot for the sound card that comes with the mobo to prevent users from running it on competitors' mobos :D
Yikes, thanks for the heads up on that.........Quote:

so it must be another board I'm confusing with, that has an inverted slot for the stock sound card...Quote:

Psssst............there is no "onboard audio" function anywhere in this board's BIOS settings. Just an FYI....Quote:
