Does any know if this will add 4-ports to my existing 6-ports on the motherboard for a total of 10? Or does it disable my motherboard ports?

Yes it does. And I might add that it works perfectly on my ASUS board Windows 8 machine.

this has four medium connectors and two small connectors and also the large mother board connector and small motherboard connector a total of nine connectors, so in answer to your question it should work for you just fine.

Hi I am suing this with my MAC bookPRo and Surf 2.. without any issues. You should have no problem geting 4 additional ports. The picture is showing 3 but actually there are 4 ports. I am always super loading all the ports and this thing just works and works and works. Good luck

considering the pci 3.0 is backward compatible with the 2.0 specification there should be no problem, however, I have not tried this so it is a theoretical answer. I assume you have two 16 slots and the first is populated with another card. Also as mentioned in order to provide the best throughput you will need 4 lanes. Most motherboards provide 8 for the second 16 slot put it is worth a double check before you invest in the card.

Not really. I only bought it because I needed more ports. Unless you need more ports or the controller on the motherboard isn't working. There is no reason for it.

I bought this motherboard for my media computer, so I use it often. When I installed 4GB total, in all four slots, it probably overloaded the memory bus, which led to very poor performance. You might get away with only using 3 out of the 4 slots. Or you might need to update the bios. I also have a fairly decent video card, which could also be part of the problem.So on paper, you should be able to install 8GB of RAM, but in reality, you might not be able to. It is old technology, so you might have a hard time finding a useful bios update. Good luck.

I'm running 2 sets of them on an Asus Sabertooth X79 board without any issues. As for any difference in speed there doesn't seem to be one other than using more power. Depending on your motherboard the 4 sticks might run as a quad channel and the pair in dual channel mode.

It just uses the bracket slot but it does use a molex connection and unless you're case has a good size gap on the left side, you have to run the power cable across the motherboard to the cable management slot, which bothers me but if you don't care about that then you should be fine. And I don't know if was just mine but mine stopped working after a month and I double checked the connection and even switched out a molex connection to trouble shoot but nothing. I would recommend it cause its an awesome add on but watch out to see if any LEDs burn out.

What kind of connectors are you using? If it requires 6 cores you will be out of luck.

Usually, motherboards come with 4-pin connectors but the plastic support for the connector is usually set in a way that it can support 3-pin electrical connectors from fans. So, the short answer is that you will probably not need an adapter, it will work just fine just as it is.

This motherboard (along with the FM2 AMD processor) only support up to three monitors. I haven't tried the kind of setup you want, but i would imagine it would still switch from the APU (on board graphics) to GPU (dedicated graphics card) like it would on most motherboards. I believe (and don't quote me on this) you MAY be able to set up more than 3 monitors if you get two graphics cards and run them in SLI mode. Just make sure the cards have the right Ports for your monitors and the desired amount. I hope this helps at least a little bit!feel free to ask any other questions you may have, i may be able to help you out haha This motherboard (along with the FM2 AMD processor) only support up to three monitors.

Along these same lines does anyone know will the ports work independently at 3.0 if the added peripherals are 3.0 but the computer port is 2.0? Meaning can i transfer from port 1 to port 2 device at 3.0 even though the power i am getting from the motherboard port is only 2.0?

revision 1The only difference is needing 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin(rev 1) vs needing 2 8 pin(Rev 2. 2 8 pins should give it more overclock headroom in theory.) either way it's a fantastic card:) Good luck.

It has 4 ports on board. Here is the manual download url https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=15049

Why are you saying it won't support 7 devices? I have all 7 of my ports in use with no issues.

I am using two eight gig sticks, but I do know that it is indeed compatible with eight gig sticks as well. It's a great motherboard, by the way. Couldn't be happier.

i would say that would be a no from my understanding on how this is built...don't own it yet but i don't see how they could design it that way (different adapters and this is only one slot) Check out something called bytetec or whatever on newegg. It has Two different IDE if i remember. Not if you get it it has some funky order of operation to work. Like plug in driver than power than usb or driver usb power or something weird.
