You don't get it, problem is when you can't plug an 1x extender into an 1x slot and have it working.

ECS P45T-A requires it, but the board also got toasted after a few days, so I wouldn't suggest it. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Any word for a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P v1.6? That requires this trick?
This should be a sticky thread.
The bottom slot on EP45-DQ6 (8x) require the mod. Maybe it's like yours. PS : no problem with UD3R

Foxconn A7DA-S 3.0 had some crazy behavior with the 4th GPU,
The mod seems to have fixed it. (first slot)

Note to self : shorting B1 with A17 will destroy the slot, but not the card. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

He said B1-A17. The right pins are A1-B17. If you can't pay attention to these details, maybe you shouldn't even be trying to short them ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Actually, looking at the pinout, shorting B17 to either B16 or B18 should work. Just disconnect the thing from the motherboard if you don't have anything connected.
