It is not possible. Reviewing the book for your motherboard shows your second GPU slot only runs at x4. That works for Crossfire...

Hello!

For your motherboard I would suggest using MSI Command Center (Yes other people may think differently but this program helps me monitor everything in my pc)

For graphics cards I would suggest downloading MSI AfterBurner, that's a great program too :)

That has a PCI - e x16, which is the fastest GPU slot. You won't have any problem with that :)

Oh that's a shame :(

Go with CPU-Z then, that's a good program to use to monitor board temps :)

I guess that AfterBurner worked fine? :)

Even if the slots run at PCIE 3.0 x8 it does not mean that SLI will work. That board specifically does not support SLI.

This may be because the second slot's PCIe lanes are shared with the M.2 slot or other slots on the board.

As per the board's specs SLI is not supported. Whoever told you that doesn't know what they are talking about.
