For example, my SoundBlaster ZxR soundcard is a PCIe 1x interface card, but the X99 board I want to get, ASUS X99 Deluxe, doesn't have any PCI-E 1x slots on it according to specification info.
It only has, from what I can tell, five PCIe x16 slots (long ones) and one PCIe x4 slot (short one), so does this mean that I can't use my ZxR on ASUS Deluxe?
Or can I just plug that into any of the other PCIe slots?
Also, does it matter which of the five PCIe x16 slots my single GPU occupy first?
Or can we just use any one of them as long I'm not SLI-ing?
