Hey hey. Just a quick clarification here. What is the highest port ratio you can have on a slot port. Is 1:5 ok???

With slot ports the farther away from square you get, the less efficient your port becomes. It starts acting like its smaller than it actually is. For example a 1:5 ratio port is only going to flow 81% as much as a square port would of equivalent area. A 1:9 ration port will only flow 73% as much.

So if you are going to use higher ratio slot ports, you should make them a little larger to compensate.
