Formula VI Question

Level 7
Hi there,

I have a now old Formula VI and have recently up graded to a pcie hard drive which I have managed to but into the top pciex1_1 slot and works fine would I be ok to put it into the slot under the x16 pcie slot 2 under my GPU in x16 slot 1 or would this cause the GPU to run at x8 I understand if it was a second GPU it would is this the same if it's a hard drive?

Thanks in advance for advise I don't know where else to ask.

Kind Regards,

Ste

Hi stevieh

Welcome to the ROG forum.

Yes, installing your pcie hard drive into the 2nd pcie x16 slot would drop your gpu to x8.

Not necessarily, running at x8 barely loses any performance.
