does it matter which slot my gpu goes in if they are both pci 2.0 x16 slots?

 

[sabermetrics]

you'll usually want to put your card in the first slot, though it doesn't really matter

mm i dont think so... but put it in the first slot

 

[da9pwnsu]

either one

but if you put it in your bottom slot i will laugh at you at any lan party i see you at

 

[hoth17]

i want it at the bottom one because my card blocks my sb and i want to put a water block on it.

I don't think it really matters.

It matters. The motherboard requires a video card in the primary PCIe slot (closest to CPU). If you don't, a message will display during POST and inform you so.

You never need a waterblock on a Southbridge....
