I take it if I put the soundcard in the bottom 8x slot it will make one of the 16x slots drop down to 8x which will effect my crossfire performance?
If no one else lets you know about this, I'll post in a day or two. Got my board arriving tomorrow and wasn't planning on using the big Northbridge cooler.
