Hi guys,

I just ordered my 2nd EVGA GTX 680 Classified, as this is a really big card I am unsure if it will fit my Sabertooth z77.

To make things worse I already have a Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Professional plugged in my PCIe slot.

Does anyone have a setup similar to this? Do things fit alright?

Will a 2 GTX 680 in SLI + a SB soundcard fit my mobo?

I don't see why not. I have a Sabertooth P67 and had a crossfire setup along with an extra PCI-E wifi adapter and a PCI-E sound card. From looking at the picture of your motherboard, I'd say you can have two PCI-E VGAs and still leave room for two PCI-E 1x slots and another PCI-E 16x slot. As long as your case has room, shouldn't be a problem.

I believe you could even add a third card there.

Thank you for the fast reply.

I am worried because these video cards are really big and the PCIe Sound Card would be too close to one of them, which is not good.

Just make sure the audio card isn't between the VGAs, which would be the worst scenario for cooling. The first x1 slot would be ideal to use, but if the motherboard fan makes that impossible you can still use the last x16 slot.
