    Sorry if I am stealing the thread or not posting in the right forum.
    Just got my Rampage III and setting it up with 2 x GTX480 in SLI.
    I know the ideal is to use PCIe slots 1 & 3 to get the full x16 but I have a sound blaster card that is PCi and placing a GTX480 in the 3rd PCIe covers the PCi slot.
    I could get to the PCi slot for the sound card if I used PCIe slots 2 & 4 for the GTX480's but I believe this will only give me x8 instead of x16 for them.
    Is someone able to tell me if this correct and/or is there a work around for this?
    Or am I stuck with having to use the onboard sound (is anyone else using the onboard sound? is it good quality?) or do I need to buy a PCIe sound card?
    thanks for any help
