The issue I am facing is that the 980 card does not fit in the PCIE_16x_1 slot due to the back plate touching the motherboard cooler.
Is there any way to reconfigure the PCIE_8x_2 as 16x in BIOS by disabling the first slot (PCIE_16x_1)?

Another option is to purchase components that conform to PCI-SIG specifications. While these oversized back plates may be visually appealing they can lead to issues as noted in this thread.

Hi all,
I am moving to an 2 way SLI 980 (Asus Strix cards), using EK water blocks with back plate to cool the cards.

Just for reference I am having the 5690x.
Thanks!
