Hello Ladies and Gents

A couple of months back i brought a Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 (Sorry for posting an outside link i could not find the mother board on the website)

** Links to competitors is not allowed **

I also purchased a eVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD SuperClocked (Again sorry for outside link)

** Links to competitors is not allowed **

The GPU is a bit bulky and i wanted to run 2 of them in SLI. My question is will 2 of them fit on to the MoBo i brought?

I hope someone has the answer because id hate to buy another only to find they wont fit also if someone knows that they wont fit can they recomend a MoBo they will fit on.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the reply and again sorry for the links.

I have an 850w XFX Pro PSU and the image you posted is very helpful because i was unsure of which of the other 2 slot to use.

Will the air flow to the slot 1 card be effected much if so is there some sort of additional coller i could use to help cool it?

The case is a Xclio Blackhawk full tower http://www.xclio.com/products/case-blackhawk.htm#details

2 front mounted 120mm fans sucking air in
2 top mounted 120mm fans sucking air out
1 side mounted 250mm fan sucking air in
1 additional back mounted slot for a 120mm fan which i have not used yet

Cheers, i spent 3 months researching each component i brought whilst i saved the money to buy them. Its my first build so i am still a little unsure of the hardware i brought.

The rest of the hardware are

intel i5 2500 (i will upgrade to an i7 once iv sorted out the graphics)
8Gig (2x4Gig) corsair vengeance (enough for what im doing at the moment)
750Gig Western Digital HD (will add an SSD next year)
Samsung DvdRW drive
