Any X58 boards have pci left over in xfire?

Struggling to find boards that will allow me to reuse my x-fi pci card if I want to use 2 two slot graphics cards in crossfire/sli

so far have found

Asrock X58 Extreme3

ASUS P6T SE (not usb3?)

MSI X58A-GD65 (which seems newer)

Info on others welcome (should have have USB3 and Sata3 6gb) !

Yeah the P6T SE isn't USB 3 i'm afraid

This has all that you want.

Edit. Not sure the bottom PCi-e is close enough for your bridge to reach.

[FONT=&quot]hmm [/FONT] would work but only if the 2nd two row card was in the end pci-e 16 slot

there the case would need an 8th slot some do many dont

Indeed - at least it was worth a shot.

Good luck.

Maybe use a pci-e or pci riser? Not sure how well these things work and how messy things become when cards aren't secured fully to motherboards.

The PCI slot on theUD5 cannot be used when using a x16 xfire set up, only a x8 setup.

EVGA classified & the classified 3 will allow 16x x-fire & the use of a pci card.

Picture of my evga board when i was using crossfire & a pci sound card.
