SLI + PCIe Slot for WIFI-Card

volcom91c · Jul 15, 2014

Hello!

I'll describe my concerns here to you:

I am planning on building my first gaming pc.

The case I really like is the NZXT H440.

I already own a GPU: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N770_Lightning.html#hero-overview

Due to architectural reasons I have to rely on WiFi and have this card in my build at the moment: http://www.asus.com/Networking/PCEAC68/

In my first build I am planning to go SLI and purchase another GTX770.

I have some questions for you guys:

1. It does not matter what brand the new GPU has - just have to have the same chipset, am I right?

2. Will the two GPUs in SLI and the wireless adapter fit onto a motherboard and into the case I am looking at?

Thanks in advance guys!

1) What do you mean by saying "have the same chipset"? Do you mean the core of the graphics card? Different brands have differents cores architeture, and the same is true for different models of the same brands.

2) The case has a lot of space, your concern might realy on the mobo. If it is a mATX, I'm afraid it won't fit.

Thanks for the fast reply.

I am really a noobie when it comes to pc architecture and hardware.

1) What I meant is if the brand is important or if you can use any if it has the same name (GTX770) and the same memory(2GB)

2) I will go for an ATX board, but the problem is I am using my brothers Alienware Aurora, and I can hardly fit the 770 into it. (Not sure if it is mATX or ATX)

1: yes, it just has to be another 770, preferably the same clock speeds imo.
2: can't answer this since you didnt link a build...

I was looking at this motherboard.

These are the dimmensions of your GPU and the wifi card:
GPU: 280x129x49.15 mm
Wi-Fi card: 103.3 x 68.9 x 21 mm
If the motherboard is actually built ready for SLI or Cross-Fire, it probably has more space to fit properly all the components.

Ok another (maybe stupid) question:

Can I put the wifi card into the PCI Express 2.0x16slot or PCI Express 3.0x16slot or just into the PCI Express slot?

I'm referencing to the pictures of this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132125&cm_re=asus_1150_motherboard-_-13-132-125-_-Product

Any of the options, but use the last one, the black slot (if possible/fits).
