Making a build soon, including the RIVE and possibly a DCU II TOP. Just want to know for future upgrades, etc. Looking to get as many as I can for it.

Google provided no answers to my question. Hope you guys can help me!

Thanks in advance!

According to the specs sheet, you should be able to use up to 4 cards for SLI/XFire

4 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16; x16/x16; x16/x8/x16 and x16/x8/x8/x8, red)

Yes, but the DCU II cards are larger then normal cards, so that is why I am wondering about it. I know it is possible to do it if you had something like a PCIe expansion or something of the likes. I just want to know how much you can fit on the motherboard.

You can use 4 if they take up 2 slots each. If you use DC2's that are 3 slot cards you will be limited to 3 cards. For Nvidia sli if you are using non reference cards they should be same make and model and you would need to use the flexible links the hard links will not fit on the DC2's
