You would need a 60mm HB SLI bridge.

EVGA makes one, but they're hard to find now. It's the 100-2W-0026-LR

I have a Z97a mobo, looking to SLI 2 GTX 1070s (air cooled EVGA FTW).

I would be plugging in my first 1070 in the first full slot, and then the second one in the next available full slot  with the locking clip (its black). Is my understanding that I need the 3-slot bridge correct? or is that a 4-slot gap?

I was confused by the naming schemes and found a video online (I had looked around for 5-10 min before posting this). Counting the PCI-E brackets made the spacing clear to me. One of my issues is I didn't have a tape measure to measure the gap.

 

I will need a EVGA 1-slot HB SLI bridge it seems.

Don't buy SLI, you'd be better off saving your money and just buying a single faster GPU. 

That being said, I believe you would need a 1 slot SLI Bridge.

Long story short I got a free 1070 so I decided to spice things up a bit and purchase a 2nd 1070. I did not want to sell the 1070 I have and deal with the downtime to get a single faster card.
