Hello everyone,

my Build, has taken some time,

 

- i7 2600 @ 3.4Ghz

- AsRock LGA1155 Extreme4

- 32GB RAM 1333Mhz

- 128 SSD Corsair ForceLX

- 2x EVGA Geforce GTX 960s

     - SIi

 

so my question is if my CPU has 16 lanes for PCIe, will it support my GPUs 

 

thanks,

Why the dated hardware? Already have the CPU? In that case, SLI GTX 960s is a terribad idea when the R9 390 exists.

He said its tooken him a while, so he might have bought the 960s when the amd series wasnt even out yet

i bought my 960 when it first came out and i wanted to upgrade so i bought a second one, and got a new PSU AX1200i and i got a new case because the motherboard i had was no strong enough for Dual GPU, so i got an Asrock LGA1155 Extreme4 with SLI capabilities, but then i was watching a video from LTT and noticed the Lanes issue and was wondering if my 16Lane PCIe CPU will run 2 960s
