Hello all! I'm in a little need of help, I've installed my GPU and it for w.e reason will not read SLI. When I head to NVIDIA control panel it doesn't recognize SLI and tells me to plug in the SLI connector. Which of course is already plugged in. I'm sure this isn't a big deal, more than likely something I've just overlooked. However I just paid quite a sum of money for this GPU and am freaking out a tad. Any help is much appreciated I'll send my specs at the bottom.

OOOOOOH lool , alright this is where I feel like a Noob, give me a moment to check my motherboard and see exactly what slots their in.

Also the bios is up to date was actually recently flashed and they both work I pulled out my current EVGA 970 and installed the Gigabyte 970 first.

Alright so I double checked their both installed in the correct slots (PCIEx16_1 & PCIEx16_2. I'm not really sure what else to do, there must have been a step I've missed.
