X370 Asrock Killer SLI A/C PCIE 16x

   The Killer SLI A/C specs say that there are two 16x PCI-E slots. 

Does this mean I can use the lower slot and still receive 16X or will it revert to 8X?

My front case fans (2x140) are positioned in the bottom two case slots (it has room for 3, but I haven't ordered the third one yet). 

The back case fan (1x140) is near the top. 

Could I use the bottom PCI-E so that more air flows over the GPU or should I move the front fans higher?

	Ok so it looks like PCIE2 and PCIE4 are the GPU slots and if I read the manual correctly I cannot run a single GPU in the lower (PCIE4) slot. It says N/A. Single GPU 16X is only available in the PCIE2 slot?
