So in a few months time, I'm building a new PC for gaming and video editing/creation. The motherboard I'm gonna be using is the Asus Rog Rampage V Edition 10. You can check it out here:

Now, I'm gonna be using dual 1080TI cards as well as a sound card, the Asus Essence STX 2. I'm also gonna be building a custom water loop for the CPU and both cards and possibly the chipset and VRM as well. The last thing i want is to put the thing together, leave the pumps running for a day to get rid of the air then finally perform the first boot, only to find out that one, or god forbid, both of my cards are running in 8X. Is there anyway to make sure they both run in 16x? Do i need to put them into certain slots or does it really matter anymore? Thanks!
