I'm looking for any motherboard that has sli. Preferably ATX but E-ATX is ok. I have the EVGA Pro SLI 2 Slot bridge and I'm trying SLI but I can't find one that has two pci slot spacing to support two gpus.

Yes, I know SLI isn't worth it but I'm experimenting.

No TR sockets or 2011 sockets please. Only the mainstream ones like Ryzen 2000, 1000, 3000 series or Kaby Lake and Coffee.
 
Solution
This one I would think would have sufficient spacing for SLI.

Depending on the case you may want to consider a AIO 120mm CLC for the top GPU but that also depends on price and dropping quite a bit of money into SLI may not exactly be worth it.

Which GPU's are we talking about?

Okay thanks. Will the X470 variant have that spacing too?
 
Some probably do, I just looked for those the had the two PCI slots to gauge spacing however you may need to do a bit more investigating to make sure the spacing is correct since those Pro bridges aren't flexible.
I'll just bite my tongue and try it. Could always buy a cheap sli bridge if it ends up not fitting. Also, do you think that the bridge would work with 9xx series cards? Would save me a great deal of money if I could. It states "compatible with 1070, 1070ti, 1080, 1080ti" but I'm thinking maybe they'd work with 9xx cards since it is a sli bridge. I don't really want to spend too much money on dual 1070s, so maybe dual 970s.

It's 10XX series or newer for the HB part of it but it should work for the 9XX cards.
