bcav, since you seem to be a research pro, maybe you can help
i have these two gigabyte boards http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4720#ov and http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3759#ov
im currently using the second one with a 2600k
best i can tell i will need the 2-way long for either board, correct?
one thing i have a question about is the first one only lists crossfire as supported, does that mean i cant use it for sli?
and would it be worth it to upgrade to a 3770k to unlock pci-e 3.0 on the first one?
thanks in advance
also, where did you get that nice little diagram of the motherboard?
You are better at this stuff than am I.
It looks like both would be the Long one 60mm.
I know the standard PCIe is 20mm between each but when you add PCI in the Picture then I would need to have a MB to measure.
But keep in mind the all computers cases the Slots in the Rear are also 20mm apart at the center.
Only the GA-Z77-D3H is the one you may have issue with, but then someone hacked a way to SLI on non Supported Motherboards.
GA-P67A-UD4-B3 Shows support for SLI and CrossFireX.
"also, where did you get that nice little diagram of the motherboard?" Cut it from the motherboard user manual.

Sajin for more info on the Hack, I believe he has the scoop.
