Question z170 compatiblity with gtx 970

[dj s]

help end this debate i am having with a friend. He believes his 2170 motherboard is incompatible with a 970. evga. he cant say what specifically . not all 970 just the one I gave him,

So educate me, PSU is the only restriction and maybe a cpu bottlenecking other than that It should work. I cant wait for your answers.

Z170 can definitelly support that GPU.CPU doesnt matter.As you stated,the PSU might be acting up.What is the psu make/model?

he just picked up a new psu bronze . 750 bronze. evga.
He doesnt understand that graphic cards of a specific model are all the same with variations that will NOT effect the compatibility.
he believes his motherboard is incompatible with this specific card.(pulling my hair out if I hand any)

I mean he either installed it wrong or its the gpu that is faulty,you dont need to update your motherboards bios or anything for a gpu to work on it.
