What will the spacing be for the SLI connector on the GPU's? I want to buy a high speed bridge but need to know the spacing.Copyright 2016 ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. It appears though that if I buy a Samsung 950 and place it in the M.2 slot it won't effect the GPU's at all. Is this true? Is it a design issue or something that will be fixed with a BIOS update? Looking at the threads it appears that if i place it in slot PCIEX8_4 it causes issues and if I use the U.2 slot it also turns on the M.2 slot which drops slot 1 to x8. Which format should I get so that the GPU's still run at x16 or is that not even possible? This drive is available as a PCIe or U.2 drive. I would prefer the Intel 750 drive since it is available in 1.2TB size. The question how do I handle the NVMe drive.

i7-6850k so a 40 lane CPUĪccording to page 1-8 of the manual I should place the GPU's in slots PCIEX16/X8_1 and PCIEX16/X8_3 so both run at x16. I want to run two GTX 1080's and an NVMe drive. Before I buy this board I want to ensure I get the components / configuration.
