Hello,
Can the ASRock Z97 Killer support the GeForce GTX 960, AverMedia Live Gamer HD, and NZXT LED light strips all at once? All three come with PCI-E and I did not know if the mobo would be able to hold all of them.
Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
The GTX960 uses a PCIe3.0*16 slot
The Live Games uses a PCE *1 slot
And the NZXT light strips I find do use a slot at the back of the case but don't plug in to the mobo, although you could be looking at a different product.

That mobo has:
- 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slot (PCIE2: x16 mode)
- 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 Slot (PCIE4: x4 mode)
- 2 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 Slots although one of them is directly above the 3.0*16 slot so that will not be physically reachable.
- 2 x PCI Slots

So if that strip really does require a PCIe*1 you'd have some issues.
