[SOLVED] 3way SLI with nvme

[Jslom]

I have this motherboard, and trying to get 3way SLI working.

Im only getting 2 GPU detected, even though all 3 are connected and powered. I have an nvme Samsung evo 500gb also on the board and wondering if that has something to do with it?

Cpu: i7 5930k
Bios: latest

Any ideas on getting this to work please.

Dang, just seen this!

"If M.2 PCI Express module is installed, PCIE5 slot will be disabled."

What's the reason for that and any way to use my m.2 and still have 3sli?

Its because the m.2 uses the PCIe lane, so the slot is disabled., its basically like having something already plugged in.

Also just a heads up, for gaming SLI scales terribly, and even with 3 cards you would see minimal if any performance increase over a single card. SLI is usually advised to be avoided, unless there is a specific application or game that actually can utilize them to any real degree.
