   Hi,

I got me 2 x Gigabyte 1080 ti Aorus and the idea is to put them in SLI. But, those crads are huge (H=55 L=293 W=142 mm), and when i put them in my current Motherboard GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 with just 1 slot spacing, they are just to close. The upper card gets hot really fast, like 75c and higher and the noise level goes up too. Now I'm searching for motherboards with socket 1151 that have two, three or even more slots/space between PCIEX16 and PCIEX8 slot. 

The board that i consider is Asrock Z270 SuperCarrier, but i wonder if a can pair 2 1080 gtx ti in the highest PCIe16x (nearest to the CPU) and the last one at the bottom? Are those two at the bottom also PCIe8x, coz 1080 ti wont SLI with PCIE4X.

thx in advance

EDIT 12 2 2017: i am willing to spend 300e on a board and not one answer, no mods or support, now i know why i never had ASRock boards and probably never will have one. So disappointed. :(
