Hi there, i was trying to put my vga card on the second slot on my DFI lp ultra d and it seem to be working, but the problem is the benchmark is lower by few thousand points. The reason i put on second slots is becos my graphic card is to near my chipsets cooler, moreover is giving more heat to my chipsets, thats why i am getting around 43oc on my chipsets, the question is why the benchmark lower when put on second slot. TQ

because the 1st slot is 16x and the 2nd one is 8x...i think thats the problem

The 2nd PCI-e 16x slot is actually running at 2x. You need to set the PCI-e jumper position to 2-3 to force both slots running at 8x. It's the same method if you want to run SLI on an Ultra-D.
