I have the hardware witch i describe in the subject. Until now i used to put the ati firepro in the first pcie x16 slot and the revodrive in the second pcie x16 slot. The firepro v7800 is a big card and its to close to the hybrid silent-pipe module. So for better air workflow i decided to put the revo drive in the first pcie x16 slot and the firepro in the second pcie x16 slot. Now i have more free space. But i think that the fan of my card spin faster in that slot. I m not really sure but that my feeling. Except of that i want to know if there is any performance issue to have the card in the second pcie x 16 slot and the revo drive in the first. With this way does the second pcie x16 slot works in x16 mode or is drops down because of revo drive in the first slot? If yes will the problem solved if i leave empty the first pcie x16 slot and put the revo in a pcie x8 slot. I prefer the card in the second pcie x16 slot because of better air workflow but i don't want performance issue. I have the option to leave empty the first pcie x16 slot if needed.
Thank you
