Would 2 of these in SLI work well with the MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC mobo and the new i7 4790k processor?

Yes, they will work, but it looks like that motherboard only has one slot between the two PCI express slots you would be using. With the way the ACX cooler works, the top card is not going to get much air which can cause it to overheat. To use that motherboard, I would suggest the version of this card with the standard blower style cooler instead of the ACX cooler.

No problems here. Running it with a 4790K on an MSI Gaming 7 LGA1150 systemboard. Be sure and enable XMP in your BIOS to get the full memory speed.

Yes. This motherboard is compatible with that processor, and video card. In my case as I have the i5-4430 processor. I recommend is that if you plan to use SLI better buy a motherboard Z87-G45 GAMING.

I highly recommend the MSI Z97 Gaming 7 board. For what it gives you, the price is unbeatable, and it's the best I've owned.

I have no idea what the FC relates to but it should work no problem. I would check the motherboard specs to see if the 4790 is good for it.

Barely any difference. The Base Clock differences are 1046 MHz vs. 1072 MHz, and Boost Clock of 1111 vs. 1137. That's pretty much it except for the extra fan. You can still only SLI connect a total of two of these cards if that's of any interest to you. For space and cooling efficiency, I'd opt for a dual GPU board instead. It will save you a ton of room in your tower. These cards are beasts, but effective.

Hi,the cooler fits but you can not be used for SLI anymore. Best regards,Jens

Just grab something with the z97 chipset and you'll do just fine. Other factors will narrow it down like SATA ports, 3.0 headers, sli/crossfire support, and such.

Hi, Yes, it should be plenty fine for your setup. I purchased this motherboard along with the latest Intel Core i7-4790K Processor, 16GB RAM and my son's extreme video card and we are extremely pleased with the performance of this new setup. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

The core and memory clock speeds are marginally higher on the 755m's. But having two, you end up having 10% higher clocks on each card. Theoretically 20% higher frames if everything works good with the sli optimization.

Just make sure that you have the PCI-E cables that youll need from that PSU. It requires one 6 pin and one 8 pin. That MOBO has a PCIE 3.0 x16 so you should be fine. Keep in mind that you will not be able to SLI later on with that MOBO. If returning the item is still a option I would recommend spending a extra bit for the 770. Hope it helps.

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

No, first of all CrossFire is AMD only. SLI only works for the same cards and only if they have the same memory.

Yes it supports both crossfire and sli. It's extremely quite too, can't even hear it at full load

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.

Definately. I run a msi gtx 760 with psu also. Apparently it can Do sli too

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