Hey there! I built my PC a while back using these parts: Motherboard link, two Radeon cards from MSI, and I'm thinking about adding another one in the PCIe4 slot. The X8 and X4 slots are closer together now than they were before, so I'm curious if an adapter is needed or if I should just pick a smaller card for the X8. Is it possible the board was designed this way because only two cards are supported? Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks, Cooper.

You're using Aster for multi-user support and need more monitors, especially during heavy video rendering. When you disable Aster, having extra power would really help performance.

You might purchase a PCI-E adapter to position the graphics card in any location you prefer, depending on the length of the adapter.

Yes, it should function at x4, but if it fits, it will suit your needs. A PCI extender, as mentioned earlier, can help with that, though your case might have challenges depending on the model.
