Your motherboard didn't come with an SLI bridge? Compatible motherboards usually have one. Don't buy directly from Nvidia because you'll get better prices on amazon or newegg. For bridge length, it needs to directly correspond to the number of cards you will be using. No more, no less.

Hope this helps...

Delta you are right, but i got a feeling the bridge that came with motherboard won't support these sli, because nvidia specificially said need a HB bridge. now i don't know what hb means? maybe high bandwidth? lol 

they work. just not as well

So which is the right size to buy? since i want it to work well. and also is it ok to put the cards in any slot? lets say 2nd and 4th slot. or 1st and 4th slot? does it matters? whats the difference with or without the bridges?

best is slot one and 3 , or slot 1 and 2

 

give me motherboard model and which slots you want to put it in and ill figgure it out for you

This guy and several others suggest that difference are not even noticeable.

 

The only thing you need to know is the length of the bridge you need ( 0, 1, 2 slot...)

it is the same when displaying at 4k and lower. once you start displaying above 4k (5K+) the HB starts to make a difference
