Can I SLI in this motherboard?

[Faisal_92]

Well I have a gigabyte z170x Gaming 3 motherboard and I want to SLI Gtx1070 on it can I do that?

You can SLI if you can fit the 1070s in.

 

[jwcrellin]

As long as your power supply can do 600-700watts.

You mean fit them in the case, not the motherboard.

To run sli, the pcie slots must be configured to run electrically x8/x8. The gaming 3 does that, yes.

yeah looking at my case and motherboard that's why I asked this question! because I have 1 gtx 1070 already and that thing was huge and I was wondering if I can fit both of them since the space between the two PCI-E is suspicious lol my case is Cooler Master K550 and 750PSU though.

And which exact model GTX 1070?

What I already have is Gigabyte G1 Edition and I'm getting Asus STRIX OC Edition.

I am not sure but i think you need the exact same model to use SLI. Both cards will fit, as they are both well under 363mm/14.3”, specified under your case.
