Gigabyte 980 ti G1 Gaming SLI in Micro ATX?

[JoeyMartin1958]

Hello,

So I currently have a Micro ATX board and a reference gtx 780. I am planning on switching to a difference board (this one) that is also Micro ATX. I also wish to run the Gigabyte 980 ti G1 Gaming card in SLI. Being such a thick card though, I am unsure if it will block the other PCI slot. I tried looking for the specific sizes on Gigabytes website and did find them but am not sure if it will fit.

Motherboard: Here
Graphics Cards In SLI: Here

My current card is listed as a dual slot card. The 980 ti isn't specified as a dual slot but it's thickness is 42mm.

I plan on buying the 980 ti first so if it won't fit in SLI with this new motherboard I would have to switch to another card. I am trying to keep a white/black/neutral color scheme in my case so this card goes perfectly with the RGB led.

Thank you all so much!

Yes, that should fit together and work as a 2x SLI'd GTX 980 Ti video card system.
However, I'd recommend first: trying it out with only one GTX 980 Ti installed.
Which should produce a very capable machine, for pretty much any kind of gaming scenario.
If you do decide to go with 2x GTX 980 Ti cards, you'll also have to consider system cooling and PSU requirements. There are now liquid cooled GTX 980 Ti cards available from Corsair & MSI, for example.

You'll want to have exceptional case cooling if running 980Ti SLI. Those cards generate some substantial heat.

Doesn't look doable to me. Cards most likely will be smashed together it looks like. Guessing you would have to remove the backplate on the lower card to even have a shot at it working.

Are you still using the NZXT Phantom 530 case for your build?

If your still using the above why not just get a ATX motherboard?

Your lucky if 980 Ti worked on this. Why you wanna SLI ? What CPU do you have that is the thousand dollar question.
