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
PCIe x1 -> x16 Adapter Extender Cable

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!

The pictures didn't load for me but that could be my PC, either way yes there is a correct, you will notice the cable is split in a way that has a gap between the two segments and if you look on the video card it has the same gap, so you want to match the little short piece (closest to video input) to the exact spot as on the cable. Just match the two up and you should be good. Sorry I don't have a picture but just look at the cable and your video card you will see what I am talking about.
