Hey, I have a question about this board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128705 If I put a card in the first and third orange slot, what will the cards run at?

8x/4x

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

It can but PLX chips induce more latency which can be undesired. 4x 3.0 is not a bottleneck though so you can go 4x without performance loss

ok I'll try to look into it, but for future reference a xeon 1231v3 and my non oced 290X's should run fine on 850 watts right?

I will need to check on the xeon but generally your system will run fine unless you want to oc the gpus.
