Crosshair v formula z - will it fit?

[karanbraich]

Hi guys,
I am planning on buying asus crosshair v formula z motherboard.

I was wondering if I'd be able to fit 2 7970 graphics cards, asus raidr ssd and asus Phoebus sound card on this motherboard.

Kind regards,

unfortunately no you won't be able to fit any PCIe2.0x1 expansion cards after fitting the two hd 7970's as the heatsinks on the gpu's will cover the 2 x PCIe2.0x1 slots you need,
its possible to put one of the expansion cards in the bottom PCIe2.0x16

I'm jealous that you have the money to do something like this. May I ask what you would be using such a high end everything would be used for?

A lot of gaming (Dayz, BF4, some new games). I also like to multitask. Usually have multo tabs opened all the time and applications running in the backgroud.

Unfortunately, I am thinking about going with one 7970 now.

It about saving your money bro.

The onboard audio is more than efficient for gaming as is one 7970, what resolution are you playing at?

Well that is logical.

When you have a audiophile level of headphones, onboard audio solution is really not enough. Not having a soundcard at this point is out of the question.

I have decided to go with 1 GTX780.
