i bought this board, but i plan to watercool my gpu, and i got three of them, how can i fit a sli bridge that can fit all three gpus? the lengths diff

This one is mATX board, 3 GPUs might be tough, I found tough to manage 1 GTX 690 itself. Apart from fitting these, GPU cooling might need pretty tight cabling. I would advice not to go for this GPU.

You would need a flexible cable similar to what AMD uses. That being said however, this board is not really designed for 3 GPUs. Technically there are 3 PCIe slots but the spacing is does not support 3 dual slot GPU cards. (most cards are dual slot either naturally or with the addition of aircooler/waterblocks.)As this is the micro-ATX end of the ROG series boards, it is meant for smaller systems with two GPU cards really being it's intent.

I would not recommend installing 3 GPUs on this board. The reason being that the 3rd PCI E slot has only x8 bandwidth. You`ll essentially be running the third card with half the bandwidth/performance.

HelloI am not so sure about your concern. You had three mother boards and you want to use water cooler for CPU and you want to make a bridge for all three mother boards? I need to know more detail of your concern. Thanks

I'm using this same bridge on my Asus X99 Deluxe with 2xEVGA GTX980 SC ACX2.0. Works flawlessly and lights up. I've heard that the EVGA logo on the bridge won't light up with GTX970s, but I won't believe it until I see it. If you have EVGA cards, this should work with GTX7XX series and up. Even if it doesn't light up, it still works just fine as an SLI bridge and adds some extra bling to your rig if you have a windowed case.

No. SLI can only be viable with 2 identical cards. The most you might be able to do is dedicate the 780 to Physx alone..but it's hardly worth the price since many games still don't utilize Physx. I'd sell the 780 and put the money towards 2 of these. Or just sli 2 780 supers. The difference is probably nominal.

Alright i currently have one of these bad boys in my rig im looking to sli i have a amd Black 8core with a sabbertooth fx2.0 and a 850 power supply im looking to grab another one to SLI any idea if im gonna need a bigger power supply ? thanks for your help !!!!

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

This works for my gtx760s and it gives it a stiff connection between cards, which is nice. My Maximus hero VI board has very little room left for anything else. You may want to go with a flexible connection if you plan on adding a lot to your board. If not, the rigid connection adds support to your boards. Whether it works for your cards I can't say for sure but it should.

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.

You can just use the two 8 pin PCIe power connectors. My GPU was clocked at 1080 GHz. I've read that there is another 290x Lightning, possibly distributed in Europe, that is clocked at 1050 GHz.

You can fit not only 1 but two. And if you wanted to go crazy you could fit about 15 of those cards in there. But only two will be plugged In SLI. You could use it as a storage box if you wanted but most of the community would agree not to.

Yes, there's plenty of room for 3-way SLI. See here http://screencast.com/t/EqNZmMzh My case has Eth and Sound cards in lower PCI ports, without them extra 2 graphic cards should go in nicely.

Most newer motherboards have multiple PCI-E slots. The graphics card (generally) uses a x16 slot, but there's normally some 1x, 4x, and/or 8x slots on the board as well. This cards is a 1x, so it will fit in any of the above assuming your GPU cooler or something else isn't covering the slot.

don't worry about the motherboard, just worry about buying the right bridge from the evga website, or call them and give them your style of card and ask which 1 fits

Unfortunately, this particular model is not SLI ready. If you want SLI you have to buy the GTX 650 TI BOOST.
1180436
750Ti cards are not SLI compatible and you can use only one of them in any computer you build, regardless what motherboard you buy
1881984
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 should accommodate that card fine although you may have to remove one of the drive cages to accommodate, there's a secondary mount for crossfire/SLI cards. I'd be more concerned about where the radiators go. Google and see if anyone else has this install.

no it doesn't support it. but there is a patch that we graphics modders use. HyperSLI which is not supported anymore but it still works great. it will give you sli support. try it out and if you don't like it then buy a higher gigabyte board as this is one of their cheapest and they skimped on a lot of features. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask as this is my fianc's account I may be delayed getting back to you but I will get back to you when she lets me know. personally I say this board is $109 go to ebay and get a z77x-ud3h for the same or up to 40 bucks more if you can return this. definitely check out the patch though. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/hypersli-enabling-sli-on-non-sli-motherboards.153046/
