Hey guys i'm about to purchase 1080s to run in SLI with a (MSI Z170A MPOWER Gaming Titanium ATX LGA1151) motherboard.
My question is what EVGA HB Bridge would I need to purchase for it to be the correct spacing (0,1,2,4)? Having issues deciding because I can't actually measure the space inbetween on the motherboard itself.
Maybe i'm just not looking in the correct place for the information, either way your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
You need the 0 slot spacing as the cards would be basicly stacked with no spacing on the board.
I hope your going with foundation cards with blower style fans as they would work best in tight spaces like that.. and it's advised by Nvidia to remove the bottom half of the backplate on the 2nd card to allow more air into the first card in tight spaces like yours. Yes the backplate is cut in half and it's just a couple of screws to remove it.
It's either fe cards, evga 1080 sc are the same style just higher stock clocks or hybrids cards <- water cooling for best cooling in that tight card spacing.
If you go ftw or classified sli they will cook.
Let me also add that evga sells a hybrid 1080 kit for fe cards that will also work on the evga 1080 sc. That would work great with your tight spacing.
Though overall the cheapest would be just 1080 ftw hybrids.
