MSI Z170-A Gaming M3 SLI ??

The Slayer · Sep 22, 2016

Okay so i have posted this question on this forum twice and i already know it doesn't have sli support. Why ? because the second PCIE slot only runs at X4 speeds when something is installed in the PCI E1 or E3 slots. and that is the small PCIE slot next to the X16 slot of the motherboard. not the one that i install the gpus into. i dont use these slots so does that mean that my motherboard have SLI support because i sont have anything installed in those slots
Here's the link for the Motherboard : https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z170A-GAMING-M3.html#hero-specification

Be nice
Cheers!!

You don't have SLI support just crossfire .

Do you know why ?

When you have 1 GPU installed it uses x16 and when you do 2 way its x8 and x8 and and when you install an PCIE SSD it uses x4 PCIE lanes.
Your motherboard supports crossfire only , Multiple AMD GPUs.

Your board does not have SLI support. Its not just having the proper slots and speed but the board needs to have it enabled in the chipset. It is not.

That board specifically has an X16 and x4 GPU slot.
