Hello,

I have tried this on several different motherboards but when I look at availability of slots I get the message that they are all "in use" when I scroll through each slot tree.

I just realized recently when opening the housing that this is not actually accurate to what I physically see on the board.

This can be X16 or express ports or basically any combination.

Thoughts?

Thanks
