Sli bridge help?

[Panda255]

Im getting to gtx 1080's and need help finding a sli bridge i just need to know the spacing... http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128835&cm_re=z170-_-13-128-835-_-Product Thats the motherboard

I would just buy one of the flexible cables. If they are too long they flex to accommodate the shorter distance. Unless of course you're looking to buy one of those overpriced EVGA solid SLI bridges, in which case I wouldn't have a clue.

You'll need a 3 slot if you are going to use the top two x16 slots on that board.

 

Hope that helps.

You're welcome.

 

Here is some additional information straight from the motherboard manual.  If you look at my very crude drawing, you'll see that there's only one space in between each card. Also, I misspoke when I said "the top two x16 slots" as only the top is x16 and the second one is x8, but with a 16 lanes CPU you'd be running x8 + x8 regardless, which is perfectly fine.

 

Good luck.

That is a 3 slot... although be warned, some companies will call that a "1 slot spacing" (which is also technically true)... but for all sane people, we call it a 3 slot

Yes, look at the blocks under the cards in the pics. Then if they match, its the same no matter what naming scheme they use.

Yes, one slot. Just picked up a MSI hard bridge.

 

And you want a hard bridge, anyone saying the HB bridge isn't worth it does not know SLI.
