    5870 Crossfire 16x/4x

    I have 2 5870s one has a triple slot cooler so i can't use my 16x16x crossfire, But my mobo also has a 4xpci-e slot. Are there any problems with running 16x/4x besides losing performance from the 4x slot?

    6GB DDR3 Corsair 1600 Memory

    16x+4x and you have crappy scaling.

    try to change the cooler of the card.

    How would scaling compare to 16x16x?

    No.

    They will be fine.

    About 5% off of 16/16 I would guess. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/A...caling/25.html
