SLI-bridge not detected

[MayorPotatoSalad]

I recently bought a 980 (second hand) to go with my existing 980 in SLI. One is a reference card and the other is an ACX 2.0 from EVGA, however they both have completely reference PCB's so I assumed it would be fine. Both cards are detected by everything, but when I put on the "EVGA Pro SLI Bridge V2 Two Way Long" that I also bought on EBAY (which does appear to be new, as the seal on the box was not broken) the Nvidia control panel is still telling me to connect an SLI connector. My motherboard is a z97 Pro from Asus and I am running a 4790k. Is there something that I have missed?

 

Please help,

Thanks.

U need to use slots one and 2 on ur mobo 

if it's a long bridge and ur using slots 1 and 3 and ur mobo doesn't support Sli over Thoes slots it won't work 

so

 

does ur mobo officialy support Sli ?

if so it will have come with a bridge.

 

so try that bridge of u have it in slots that are recommended in ur mobo manual,

usualy slots one and 2

 

if ur mobo supports it on slots one and 2 but u don't have the bridge and ur new bridge doesn't fit Thoes slots u need to buy one 

 

of ur mobo doesn't support Sli ur shit out of luck
