I have tons of Aqua Computer gear, but not sure what I'll use until the case arrives 8/3.

For the motherboard to run SLI/NVlink, it will need to have bios version 2.30 - mine came with bios 1.6. (thanks @DrHudacris for confirming this). Updated to 2.30 and both GPUs show up and everything is running perfect.

Since the both card are 2 slots, I decided to convert one of them to single slot and remove the extra display port reinstalled the stock cooler and it fired up with no issues. Pretty happy about that!

Looking forward to this build! I have questions and some tips.

-Unless I missed it, what radiator are you using?
-As you know the M.2 on the board is on the rear, and this is in a terrible spot. It gets pinched between the motherboard and riser and the backplate is right up against it. I actually slightly unscrewed the top motherboard mounting screws to give a little bit of room for the drive otherwise it was bending and almost touching rear of the motherboard. Be careful when mounting the board!
-Is the riser custom or one-off?! Very interested in seeing that !
