It should be since that was the selling point of the 4way Classy right ?

pretty sure

I wouldn't run them that close unless I had 4 GPU's I was cramming together. I was thinking slots 1 and 3 were 16x and 16x. At least mine says slot 3 is 16x/8x which I take it is 16x but 8x if you are running tri GPU's. I was just worried about unnecessary heat issues.

Only PCIe Slots 1,3,5,7 appear to be 16x on the E762.

DrNip · #14 12-12-2009

Yeah every other one which is odd # slots. Same goes for the 759, 1 and 3. Either way though you don't have a longer bridge. Might look into getting one.

Edit: Here is one on ebay and ships it your way free.

Initial temps around 51c on the cards and down 10c when fan speed ramped to 100%

First run on Vantage froze, troubleshooting now.

DrNip · #17 12-12-2009

Fan speeds at default or cranked up? I read some posts of people not being able to run Vantage without the fan speed at least at 50% due to heat issues.

Looking up my old GTX285 4-way Classified runs at stock for comparison= 27757 http://www.overclockaholics.com/Kal/...7757_64bit.JPG
SysMem needs to be bumped up on the current 5970 runs but its comparible.
