Anyone modify their PCI-E 1x slot so it can fit a 16x card? i.e. make it open ended...
I have a unique situation... I have a evga classified 3x mobo, 3 680's on the way and a 520GT to drive my side monitors...
from the manual:
it utterly baffles me why it is done this way (i.e. why 2 and 3 aren't 16x)... so because of this I have 2 options:
-Run 16x, 8x, 8x (2,3,6 for the 680's and 5 for the gt520)
-Modify my pci-e 1x slot to fit my gt520 and run 16x,8x,16x for my tri sli (and will allow me to use the sexy ek bridges for the tri sli watercooled setup).
