Which SLI Bridge?

[AStateOfTrance]

Hey guys, I need a new SLI bridge, because the one that comes with the mobo is horrendous. I've been looking for the new ROG one, but it seems that I cant find it anywhere, unless I pay $90 for it on eBay. I'm probably gonna just get the ones from Nvidia, but I dont know whether I need the 2 way SLI Bridge, or the 2 way Spaced SLI Bridge.

2 way spaced.

 

EDIT: Lookin on the link you provided, none of those will work for you. There is only a single slot space between your cards and the nvidia one is for a dual space.

NVIDIA bridges will only work for cards that are directly against each other or have two slots inbetween. Unfortunately NVIDIA decided not to produce one that would work with 95% of Z87/Z97 motherboards. You're stuck with ROG or EVGA bridges.

Heyyo,

You could always get out a measuring tape and remove all doubt on which ya need.

But for Two-Way spaced? There's 60mm and I think 80mm depending on your motherboard... so I'd HIGHLY recommend you use a measuring tape and measure your current distance.

I'm unsure exactly which board you have... but looking at this...

It looks like the spacing is two slots so you should be at 60mm... but don't quote me on that since I'm only oogling a picture lol.

I believe evga also makes some nice looking sli bridges, and i think they should work if you have only one slot between the cards, but the asus one would really pull the build together some more with the red, so its tough that you could not find it...

do I need? the 2-way long or short? Also do you know if the EVGA will light up or not if I am not using EVGA cards?
