does this mobo come with an SLI bridge connector?

It has one black MSI-labeled SLI bridge, but it doesn't have a Crossfire bridge, nor can it double as a Crossfire bridge.

It has Ben awhile since I built my computer. As I recall my MoBo required to power connections and my Vid card required it's own connector. Power supply comes with a fist full of connectors. I had everything I needed to hook up 3 HD's, I DVD drive and I believe I have cables and sockets on the PS left over. If you have a non standard MoBo then you should send the manufacturer a query.

Hi Brandon, Mine is an AMD board so it's Crossfire. Not sure if it was an Intel board if it would be SLI.

Yes it does, but the adapter only worked for about an hour for me and after that the mobo no longer recognized the drive.

Yes it does, It now takes up a low profile PCIe slot and another slot space for the VGA connector. Works great. The existing connector unscrew from the mounting plate and then you replace it with the two low profile plates (included).

No because this motherboard doesn't have a PCI bridge it has 4 PCI express. You have to find one that goes x16 to x1 pci . This one is just the old PCI to x1.

No it is not. I have an ASUS board that is SLI, but this card graphics card does not have SLI.

It attached to my mobo fine. I don't remember specifically but I think it does. I remember that I had to buy additional sata connections. I think this has IDE connectors. It has worked fine since I installed. The old one failed and took me a couple of weeks to determine that my machine would not boot due to its failure.

The drivers are native to Windows 7. You can check the compatibility of your MoBo here http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/97-aperture-m-case-accessory . When I installed the card reader it took quite a long time for windows to install each card reader. It installed each one as if it was a separate card reader. It took a long time...I had to be patient. I was unaccustomed to long wait times for driver installation and such because my system is normally quite fast. Now look at the pictures of the cabling for the card reader. The blue 19 pin female connector is USB 3.0 I believe. If you do not have one of these ports on your MoBo, I don't think you will want to use this card reader.

Frank,This link (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z87A/) will give you all of the answers...but yes, it does support SLI.J

Yes it does, however I recommend you wait a hair, EVGA just released newer verisions of the SLI Bridge, which will work even fast on our GTX 900 series graphics cards! Go to www.evga.com for more info

The card comes with its own DVI to VGA connector if you order this you will be fine :) (I am running 2 SLI)

Newegg says support for both NVIDIA and AMD multi-GPU setups but only comes with SLI bridge connector.

Yes, it has all of the power connectors you need for your motherboard along with the necessary SATA, PCIe and other standard connectors.

Kip answered already, also, be sure to get lots of RAM and a couple of top notch NVIDIA video cards for SLI (Scalable Link Interface)- then it's a gaming MoBo :-)I maxed mine out with 64 G of RAM

mine shipped with f5. You should be able to get into bios anyway and do the usb update thing. But it should ship with f5. BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THIS MOBO DOESN'T SUPPORT SLI THOUGH. I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER BOARD(gigabyte) IF I KNEW THIS. It is a great board but I wish I realized its is crossfire only as I have a gtx 770 and If i want to get a 1440p monitor which will probably need a second 770 I will be out of luck

David, I SLI 2 Nvidia GTX 780 Ti's and they work like a charm with this motherboard.
