Hey,
I have an X99 Deluxe motherboard with a 5820k processor. I am thinking of moving my single RTX 3080 GPU from slot X16_1 (which is recommended) to X16_2.
Is that going to work out and run the GPU as expected at PCI x16 rather than x8? I have a massive heatsink unfortunately and it's not doing me any favours as it blocks the air cooling of the RTX 3080 (which is massive unfortunately).
Any advice/help would be appreciated.
