Hi Friends, I am a new-bee dealing with multi-graphic cards.
I have a Asrock 870 extreme motherboard and I want to install 2*5830+1*5850 card.
There was 2*PCI expressX16 slots, I plugged two cards inside and everything looks fine for me now. But I have problems for the third card.
There are two PCIexpreX1 slots on the motherboard and I think probably I can run the third card by the extension cable.I bought one from cablesaures

But I am not sure how to connect them together. Could anyone be kind enough to give me some instruction?
I took two pictures but do not know how to upload it. I posted the link@picasa here

It is correct method to use the extension cable?
Thanks in advance!
