So, I have a question. Currently my GPU is in the second PCI slot. Does this matter? Would I get more proformance and cooling if it was in the top slot? I have looked at the manual but it's a bit unclear. It shows that all slots are pci 16x

My specs:
Strix B450-f Mobo
Strix RTX 2080 GPU
AMD Ryzen 7 2800k
