flaw

set two gc in sli
and one x1 pciex sound card..

second card running in 8x.

wish dfi was like asus .. to have a option to force 16,16,1

it only runs 16,16,1 if no card is inserted in pcie 3.
any insert will result in 8x on pcie 2
UT X58 PCI-E slot speed:

1 card in one or both green slots - Green slots operate at x16 speed and yellow slot is turned off.

Card in yellow slot - Top green slot operates at x16 speed while bottom green slot and yellow slot operate at x8 speed.

The above is how the board is designed and no other configuration is possible.
