I need to know that this WILL NOT cover any PCI slots on an MSI Z97 gaming 5 with two GTX970 in SLI and 4 sticks G.Skill Ripjaw's

You have to make sure you get low profile ram. Or you will run into problems. And if that mother board is a anything bigger than a micro atx board then you won't have problems. And honestly is sounds like you are going for a enthusiast grade build. I would just go with a water cooler. It does a slightly better job. And it looks alot cooler. And you won't run into any problems at all. As long as your tower will hold a water cooler.

This mobo doesn't support SLI, only crossfire as it says, but u canuse a nvidia card alone

No, it only fits a regular PCI slot... Very nice card, and certainly worth the money. I should know. I've got one in my Windows 7 64 bit system. Tremendous card for the money.

it works in an PCI 3.0 slot but not on all motherboards! Works on ASUS and Supermicro but I cannot make it work on an Intel motherboard. If you need low profile, there are no many choices. The performance is above 6 of the windows index (of 7.9 max)

From the quick search of your motherboard: Your board supports PCI-e The card is PCI-e 3.0 Generally devices are backwards comparable but you will experience slower bus speeds. I am not sure if you have 3.0 or not, but the card should work regardless. The only downfall I dislike about this specific card is it says it supports SLI, but does NOT actually have the ports. So it supports it, just cant use it? Thats silly to me.

Considering that on average, while running newer games on Ultra settings, I'm only using a total of around 330 watts, I would say it'll probably work. On the other hand, there's literally no reason to use two of these in SLI; even with just one I can run any new game on the highest possible settings in every area and still get 60+FPS. The second card won't do anything.

We are possibly dealing with compatibility, I inserted this card in the MSI LGA 1155 Intel mainboard H61M-P31, it will accept both PCI express 3.0 X 16 & PCI express 2.0 X 16 slot. I had no problems.............................

Should work with any pcie graphics card it is also sli ready so that means it supports nvidia dual graphics hope this helps

Yes, this board supports two Nvidia graphics cards in SLI mode. I am currently running two GTX 760s in my system.

Yeah. I only had 1 spare pci slot and put in that one and it worked fine for me. Hope this helps.

This should work fine, yeah. Your board supports ATI Crossfire (I'm not sure about nVidia SLI) so if you ever want to go multi-card, you might not be able to do so with this board. If you're going to stick with single card, though, this should be fine.

these cards no longer use crossfire cable, they do crossfire through PCI lanes, and I recall a review using a 4770k OC and two of these monsters on a corsair 1500w and it wasn't enough on some games at 4k, so you may need more depending on the resolution you will play on. And dont forget to get a beefy surge protector

No, it doesn't support SLI and it was no matter for me since i use ATI Cards and the cross fire is supported.. You may check for the z87-d3h

This Model of Mother Board is more than enough to support two of these Graphic Cards. But keep this in mind when going for SLI, that this is a dual Slot Card, meaning you will not be able to place another card in the next immediate PCI Experss slot. So, if your PCI Express Slots are given as X16, X16, X8, X8 (From Top), you can put First Graphics Card in X16 and the next one only in X8. Although this should not affect much of a performance, as none of present Graphics Cards never make use of the complete X16 configuration.

Yes. The brand of the card doesn't matter. I've had this SLI bridge on two MSI GTX 660's for over a year and it still works like a dream. For me, matching graphics cards with motherboards seems to be more important (MSI mobo + MSI GPU). I haven't had any problems with my MSI 660s and MSI G45 that I've gotten before by mixing and matching. Of course, it's not a huge difference - but I notice it's more stable.

yes it will work. but the board doesn't support SLI. It only supports crossfire for AMD Radeon cards.

It will work in SLI boards but since there is no port of the top of the card, it cannot be bridge to another card.
