Alright so the SLI bridge that came with my motherboard is too short to connect my Asus Strix to my EVGA SC due to the height difference between the cards.  I tried swapping them around but it doesn't make a difference.

The SLI bridge is 6.8 cm long (or 2.7 inch), is my only other option this 3.5 inch SLI bridge? ( http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX53047 )  

4K // R5 3600 // RTX2080Ti

Yeah definitely going to stick to that way of doing it in the future.

 

It does look pretty neat with the different cards though.

Could you get one of the long flexible ones like this https://www.evga.com/Products/ProductList.aspx?type=2&family=Accessories+-+Hardware&chipset=SLI+Bridge
