Sli Help?

[Can_We_Just]

So I'm new to the forums here but not new to LTT. I built my second pc about a year ago, I won't bother you with the details but it has a 980ti in it. After some pondering about upgrading I found a matching card for sale yesterday and purchased it to run sli for the very first time ever. The Sli bridge that came with my motherboard got lost somewhere along the way and I really wanted to buy one of those new shiny EVGA HB bridges purely for looks. The only problem is I don't know which size (spacing) bridge to get for my motherboard. My motherboard is an asus Z97-a. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

You will want a 2 slot bridge. If it was 1 slot, the 2nd PCI slot would be where that 1x slot is at, the 3rd one down.

Spacing is standard. HB bridges are for Pascal cards ONLY. I'd get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA85V4R41187&cm_re=sli_bridge-_-14-998-109-_-Product or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814999040&cm_re=sli_bridge-_-14-999-040-_-Product

 

The MSi one would be better to give your cards more breathing room.

So a 60mm bridge is what I'm looking for?
