    I am pretty sure you are, but I will verify... your system is watercooled, correct?

    When I was turning off lanes on the z87 Classified, an EVGA rep said that it still detects the cards even though the lane is disabled. I am not sure if that is correct honestly, but it kind of is logical.

    Which cpu are you running, the 30k or 60x?

    The cards aren't under load in the BIOS, so they'll read as x8. Try putting a load on them with OCScanner or 3DMark in Windows, and check that they're hitting x16.

    Yes, it definitely should card 1 at x16 and the other 3 at x8. Make sure all of the drivers are up to date, to include chipset and such. I doubt it is a NVIDIA driver issue.

    Also, that S Frame looks incredible. I want one. Can I have one?

    So you only have two cards physically installed on the board and they are both running at 8x? What slots are they in? Looking at the board it would appear you would need to run the cards in slots 1 & 4 to get both to run at 16x.

    Do not trust what GPU-Z Shows you. Post an image of your Bios............
    Look in the NVIDIA Control Panel - System Information and the Bottom Left Corner of the Control Panel.

    You need to physically remove two cards not just shut them off using the pci-e jumpers.
