Hi.

Im running a Gtx 1080 SLI
(From top: Slot 1 and 3)

I was just about to buy a new HB SLI bridge. All my PCI-E is 16X but i noticed the manual saying: (x16/8 link / What im running on both cards now) - (x8/0 link) or even just (x16 link).
my first thougts was that i might have something to gain by moving my cards to the PCI-E slots containing pure x16 link but im not sure?

Tried to search up the effects without any luck.

Any of the gray slots will be x16 so if you want to put a little space between cards for better air flow you can. All black slots run at x8, slots 1 and 2, and 3 and 4 share so if you put anything in 2 or 4 then the paired slot will drop to x8 as well.
 
Its a Asus Z10PE-D8 WS

all the gray slots are odd numbers and all the black slots are even numbers
