'' it only supports Crossfire '' heck it dont even claim to do that but should I guess ?? you may add a device to a slot and loose that x4 and then its not x-fire capable . like how adding a M2 drive will disable a slot [better read that boards manual carefully on all that jazz]

''The PCIe 3.0 x8/x8 configuration is not SLI capable, but there is a PCIe 3.0 x4 based M.2 in the middle for the migration to M.2 boot SSDs.

see you add that and may loose that slot ???

sounds like you need to scrap that sli idea and just invest in a good strong single card to me

good luck

Evga sells SLI bridges on their own website:http://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=14

You can just grab the first one. The 2 way $10 SLI bridge.
You don't really need the fancy ones that cost more, unless you have a side panel window and want to have a cool SLI bridge.

don't the motherboard manufacture got one to fit it in the box ??? pretty cheap if not ?

but what ever the 2 slots you got to user are just measure in mm center to center of the 2 slots and find the correct bridge

see this '' The right fit for your system''

http://www.evga.com/articles/01020/evga-pro-sli-bridge-hb/

so if your 2 primary pci-e slots the manual says to use for 2 card use is 40mm center to center then you need the 40mm bridge , ect..... for example

I'm looking to buy it used. On eBay they range from $100-$180.

That motherboard doesn't support SLI, it only supports Crossfire. The 2nd PCI-e 16x port only runs at 4x, SLI requires atleast 8x.
