Which pcie slot does my gpu go???

[SmKlos]

I have a R9 390 sapphire and Z97 gamer pro mobo. People say use the slot closest to the cpu which would for me be a pcie-x-1. Others say use the x16-3 slot which is on the bottom for me but the card won't fit in that slot. Pls help I'm so confused.

You use the first PCIex16 lane, not the first PCIe lane.
The closest long slot to the processor.

Just to clarify, that slot you described is labeled pcie-x-1. That's the correct slot?

Exactly. Use the closest full size PCIe x16 slot.

The slot labeled 3.
