Of course. Just make sure you have a decent Power Supply. This calculator might help: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

I cannot be sure about this, but it's been globally known that whenever you have an AMD main board, it's always best to install ATI VGA, but some around the world said it worked normally, but I think that with the new products ( 2013 and up ) should work without problems, especially since AMD had some down market in the last few years, I don't think they will force the people to buy their ATI VGA to work on AMD main board.That's still an opinion, but if one Geforce worked on the AMD main board, I think SLI will work as well.

You can only SLI with the exact same chipset. Meaning, you need this card, as is, x2 ($1000+) (also you really wouldn't need that for anything, the 780 on its own can do a beast of a job)

It's not a stupid question and yes, you guessed it, they are matched for "Dual Channel" functionality. You might get two individual sticks to work in Dual Channel configuration, but you can get instability or memory errors if the sticks are not identical and equally matched. Two sticks of the same memory may have slightly different speeds and other specs which can cause instability and problems. Also, some motherboards may even automatically revert to single-channel mode if they detect mismatched memory.

When running in SLI the two 16X slots will run at 8X which is fine since it won't bottleneck even at that speed. However the third slot runs at 4X which would cause a timing problem as far as know. I never run Cross-Fire or SLI. I just buy the fastest single card and go that route due to micro- stuttering. Steven Level

i tried it on my AMD (crosshair V formula Z)board and it wasnt long enough.. however once i switched to an intel mobo (maximus vii hero), it fit perfectly. i hope that helps

If memory serves me correctly, these sticks will work with the latest I-7 chip to date when I ordered my set. I am running the AM3+ socket (AMD cpu) but the Mobo baby sits itself for the most part as far as initial settings. Do be careful to notice that the frequency of the ram is going to be listed for it's capable of on the stick but if you enter BIOS and see lower then the box states don't flip out. There is always a reason for this and it is usually due to the fact that the ram will only go as fast as the board allows with the initial stepping and voltage settings. If you want faster try the included automatic over clocking software included with the motherboard. :-) I hope this has helped.

No, SLI is Nvidia technology. AMD/ATI use Crossfire to link multiple cards and this card supports Crossfire without needing a separate link cable.

I have this memory running on an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z with an FX-8350, it runs at the full speed 2400MHz. No issues at all.

The card itself is capable of SLI. Whether or not your motherboard and chipset are capable depends on what they are. But yes, you can certainly run two of these in SLI. Or three. Or four.

I have it on two gtx 780ti. Yes on any nvidia sli approved set up. All the same I'm sure.

As long as your motherboard is an SLI ready, then use 2x VGA card. The higher-the better, specially if you play an online game or if you do both Adobe Photoshop, & CAD 3D.

I just installed these in a fresh PC build, it is not inherently compatible according to the ASUS list for this Mother Board. It doesn't time properly, however I heard if you can get into bios you can force the timing to 9-9-9-29 and it should work. Problem with a new PC is it wont load bios if ram check doesn't pass. I would recommend a different ram for the z79-a boards.

Probably not. If you're referring to setting the cards up in SLI mode.. I believe you would NEED to have 2 cards of the exact same model. I've never bothered with SLI, so I'm not positive, but from what I've heard, having the same cards is essential.

If you're asking if you can use the one 4gb that comes with it along with a single 8gb stick I would guess that you could possibly do that. However, its going to be a crap shoot as to whether they'll work together. Even matching manufacturer and speed doesn't guarantee it will work correctly all the time. I would suggest just getting a matched set. I went with a higher performance 1866mhz, which definitely wouldn't work with the stock, otherwise I'd give it a shot to see if its possible for you, but either way my recommendation would be to just spend the extra money to avoid issues.

Yes it will work fine. As a single card solution you will have a minimal performance drop compared to PCIe 3.0, but this drop will be more noticeable in SLi setups (multi-card).

Yes, if your motherboard supports SLI as well then these cards can be configured in such an array.

This isn't really the place for troubleshooting, but check your motherboard -- if it is purpose built for SLI it may not handle other types of cards in both slots at the same time. Alternatively it may require additional config in the BIOS to recognize the cards as not bring graphics cards. Both of these possibilities are specific to lower end / consumer / workstation boards -- if yours is specifically a server board there may be another issue going on. Either way unless the cards are both DOA (unlikely) its probably a motherboard issue -- try contacting that manufacturer for support if you aren't able to resolve it with their manuals.
