P8Z77-V

[Smaste]

Some stupid questions (don't kill me)

Is the P8Z77-V large enough to support for example, two GTX 660 Ti in SLI?

Also, would an i5-3570k running at stock speeds bottle-neck the two GTX 660 Ti's?

Thanks,

Smaste.

Yes and yes, Some cpu overclock, even with stock cooler is preferable.

Definitely yes for the first one, but Im pretty sure it wouldnt bottleneck the CPU. However, I would suggest getting something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 +, and overclock the CPU.

The motherboard will support 2 660 ti's in sli in 8x 8x.

The 3570k would bottleneck the cards but not significantly. You'll be fine. You could overclock to 4.0ghz on stock quite easily though.

Edit: Any decent aftermarket cooler should allow a 4.4ghz overclock most of the time.

OK thank you, I'm a little reluctant to OC since this is literally my knowledge of it:

Makes things perform better at higher heat and power consumption. And that the 3570k and 2600k and 3770k are all OC compatible because of the "K"

That's it :S.

Ya thats all good, just make sure you have a PSU that is beefy enough for that :)

If you got a 700W+PSU it's going to work fine, Also try to OC your cpu a bit , the cpu won't be bottlenecking the 660Ti's at stock speed but it's always nice to have some extra speed
