Hello,

Slot configuration can be found within the manual on page 12.

Thank you for answering if seen that the only thing is what is - does it mean same as above x16 so yes it can run x16 or - runs only x8

check column 2 of section A. Clearly sais x8 on both slots (always has been that way on just about any board of the Z chipset i can remember). For the record, even under heavy gaming you should see very little to no difference at all.
