It also worked great in my asus Maximus Formula on the second pci-e 2.0 slot at 8x.

edit: this issue makes me wish I would stuck with the Asus MF
I have an Areca ARC-1220 and am considering this board. Will your Areca work in PCIE3 (the PCIE close to the bottom of the board -- I think that's a full speed PCIE slot)?
