• We recommend that you provide sufficient power when running CrossFireX™ or SLI™ mode.

•Connect a chassis fan to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1-4 when using multiple graphics cards for better thermal environment.

•For a higher performance of the 3-Way configuration using the 40-LANE CPU, adjust the bandwidth of the PCIe x16_5 slot to x8 mode in BIOS. Refer to Chapter 3 for more information.
