Z77 and PCI

[skyjawa]

Hi guys

Anyone know of any Z77 boards that would come with 2 PCI slots and still have room for xfire cards - or and I pushing it with a board that has just 1?

I've got an Asus Xonar D1 and Compro TV card in my old system I'd like to re-use in my new build which I've pretty much decided is a Z77 with 3770 IB.

Case is an CM HAF 932 so fits all but XL size mobo's I think.

Grateful of any suggestions before I go trawling through specs!

Ta
Neil

that's what im running and plenty of room is you just want 2 gfx cards.

The asus p8z77 pro also has two pci slots

Even if you find a board with 2 pci slots, they may not both be usuable with a pair of GPU's installed.
The GPU's most likely are 2 slot and will cover up at least one of the PCI slots.

I can fit a pci card in under my GTX560 (2 slot card) and if you use the bottom pci-e slot that leaves the other pci clear. so it is very possible, as long as you don't have 3 slot cards

Both gfx cards would only cover 2 slots each (2 x 5850) so if I can fit in around that would be great and thanks for the comments so far.

Mods apologies, somehow this went in CPU forum by mistake, please feel free to move into the mobo forum!!

How in the world do you already have a Z77 motherboard when they aren't even released yet?

they are released, and I get mine through work. there are a few companies selling MSI boards, but our supplier is the only ASRock place I have seen other than unknown etaliers.

the pics don't do it justice, I promise there is room for a pci card there.
