Can I SLI the MSI 1080 Sea Hawk with the 1080 Gaming X (Different PCBs)

[jawong2000]

I already own the 1080 Gaming X.

 

But I want another 1080, and I'm asking because where I live the Sea Hawk is only $30USD more, I'm not sure why.

 

Obviously they use the same chip, but they seem to have different PCB layouts. Is this a problem?

 

I know the clocks aren't a problem, I can eaisly bring both of them to the same clock speeds.

Any GTX 1070 will work. Just keep in mind if the clocks are different between them they will run at the slower speed. This can usually be fixed by overclocking the slower one to match the faster one.
