SLI support available for B350 motherboard, latest update confirmed.
SLI support available for B350 motherboard, latest update confirmed.
It’s a valid question. The second slot does have 8x pins, and you can adjust performance by changing the speed settings—though there are limitations based on the pin configuration.
Although the B350 isn't officially compatible with SLI, this motherboard features two PCIe lanes originating from the CPU, suggesting it could work with SLI unless the BIOS restricts it.
The guide clearly states it's x8/x4 under certain conditions. I've seen physical x16 slots with internal x8 contacts but only x4 solder connections on the back. Bandwidth and lanes can't be exchanged with PCIe—they're incompatible. (I've got the same board and two 770s, so I've already done the research.)
The ports indicate x8/x4 only. Also, SLI needs an Nvidia SLI certificate in the BIOS. Because this board isn’t SLI certified, you can’t run SLI even with the right connections—though some boards might support BIOS changes.
Indicates compatibility with x8 technology and CrossFire support.
