So i have a MAXIMUS VII Formula, i want to upgrade the psu from Corsair 750 to Seasonic x-series 1250w. At the same time i plan to make a sli with 980ti. I also have Zalman Z-11 h1f1 plus case. Will everything be ok? No problem with fitting or small psu or something?

Hello allocen

I don't see any problems running 2 gpu's as it supports full size gpu's and has 7 expansion slots.

Everything should fit just fine.

So about the speed of Pci Express slot, first one is about 16x, and the 2n one is 8x, is there a problem on this motherboard..or?

No it's normal for the pcie lanes to run at x8 with two gpu's as the 4790k only has 16 lanes.

Don't worry performance is negligible going from x16 to x8.

Everything looks good so far I'm going to check the height of cpu coolers your case supports.

If you already have the nh-d14 installed then there is no need for me to check. 🙂
