It is not possible. Reviewing the book for your motherboard shows your second GPU slot only runs at x4. That works for Crossfire...
Hello!

For your motherboard I would suggest using MSI Command Center (Yes other people may think differently but this program helps me monitor everything in my pc)

For graphics cards I would suggest downloading MSI AfterBurner, that's a great program too :)
 


I have a MSi motherboard a Z170-A Gaming M3 to be exact and when i try to open command center it says the mainboard is not supported
 


That has a PCI - e x16, which is the fastest GPU slot. You won't have any problem with that :)

 


Oh that's a shame 🙁

Go with CPU-Z then, that's a good program to use to monitor board temps :)

I guess that AfterBurner worked fine? :)
 


I used to have afterburner but then it started interrupting with AMD crimson settings. Cant do anything about it anyways all i actually want to know is this here's a link to the question : http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3193390/msi-z170-gaming-sli.html

I guess CPU-Z works Fine..
 


Then use that :)
 


Even if the slots run at PCIE 3.0 x8 it does not mean that SLI will work. That board specifically does not support SLI.

This may be because the second slot's PCIe lanes are shared with the M.2 slot or other slots on the board.
 


Yeah well one problem is solved do you mind helping me with my PCIE issue if u know what's going on here's the link : http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3193390/msi-z170-gaming-sli.html
 


so i guess i won't be able to add my second 970 right ? some people tell me oh it will work and others don't i want an exact answer this is my first PC and i want to know if it is possible or not.
 


It is not possible. Reviewing the book for your motherboard shows your second GPU slot only runs at x4. That works for Crossfire but NOT SLI.

As per the board's specs SLI is not supported. Whoever told you that doesn't know what they are talking about.
