Need a little riser help...

[ChanceCoats123]

I got a pair of risers today and three 5830 extremes. My rig has a Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P (2 x16 slots and 3 1x slots). Windows recognizes the two cards in the 16x slots, but not the 1x slots? When running off of risers, is it just plug and play?

This is my first time doing this, so thanks in advance!

Check the thread about shorting two pci-e pins, some motherboards require it

What would be the best method for shorting those? I'm not certain what the best method would be.

Just find some cable or wire, below 10cm will be enough, take of the rubber isolation at the ends and put both ends into A1 and B17 (look at the picture which ones are those), make sure you don't insert them anywhere else. You might want to unplug everything that gets in your way unless you are very skinny.

Thank you! That is much easier than my idea. Lol

Figured I would let you guys know that I got it all figured out and I would send a thanks to everyone who helped! They needed the short.
