Custom Length SLi Bridge

stealth80
Go to solution Solved by W-L,

 

Hey, I'm thinking about adding a second 970 GTX to my project build, but I don't want to just drop it in the vacant PCIE slot.
I know you can buy PCIE ribbon extenders for mounting GPU's in the window or other random places.
What I'm asking (I've done a little searching and haven't come across anything as of yet) is, is there any custom length SLI Bridges available?
I'm considering mounting the second 970 GTX in front of the 240mm radiator in bottom of my case (see below pic)
-PIC-
Thanks

 

 

Most SLI bridges aren't that long since after a certain length they lose their data integrity due to interference, some of the longer ones may be 12-15cm but that's about it:

This build tried a 400mm long SLI bridge but from what i recall it would fail at times:

10/10 would rate relivencey to this topic...

Anyway I haven't heard of any thing like this before but you might be able to take a few of the ribbon like SLI cables and solder them together all though I doubt that would work.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I may have to shelve this idea then as I would need around 14" of cable to get to the correct position. I'm all for a cool looking mod, but not at the expense of performance and usability.
