sli 1070 Sli questions

[SovietKnight]

So my current situation is that I am planning on purchasing another GTX 1070 for SLI, currently I have a zotac amp extreme! 1070 and with it being a very beefy card. I am slightly worried about thermals, and trying to save some money. So my question is if I were to buy a founders edition and put it above as the main card, how much performance would i be loosing in comparison to if I had another amp extreme as the top card, or would it make more sense to put the founders edition on the bottom? And yes thermals are a worry but my room is at 64F year round.

Yeah, that motherboard doesn't support SLI, sorry. I'd advise a GTX 1080ti AMP as a replacement considering, sell the GTX 1070 and put the money you'd have spent on another one towards a 1080ti.

sorry for the bad news bud 

if youre looking for more performance consider selling your GTX 1070 for a GTX 1080 or 1080Ti
