GA-X99 Ultra Gaming in SLI?

[Yomny]

Anyone running this mobo using SLI. The reason I ask is because its recommended to use the ATX4P connector for extra power when running 2 way SLI or greater and in this particular board its nearly impossible to use other than a FULL chassis.

If so, do you have the connector plugged in or just running SLI right off the PCI power?

Thank you in advance for any help.

normally it should run whithout the connector.
a lot of motherboards are having this extra power thingy but its not necessary

Appreciate your response. A gigabyte rep actually confirmed what you just said a little while back. I should have my second gtx1080 on its way.

The manual will tell you if it is REQUIRED or OPTIONAL... but looks like you have the answer.

It actually doesn't really say much except that its "recommended" for two or more cards. You know manuals, they like to leave things up to the users interpretations lol.

Regardless I ordered a 90 degree molex adapter to try and fit it. The PSU has a tab on it to hold it in place and my case being MID size, makes it impossible to use a regular molex.

Thanks for your help though.
