Default Can't get tri sli to work

3 x gtx285 on a bloodrage mobo (watercooled 1 so far to make them fit, still waiting on more waterblocks but had to try it out) & I can get any 2 cards to sli but not all 3.
All 3 cards work fine folding so not an installation issue, 186.18 drivers, attaching a pic of how I have it set up.

Now this is the first thing I thought of, but I don't think that bridge will fit given the spacing of the cards. At least not the one pictureed. There has to be one with proper spacing.

Same as ^^^^ you just can't do 3-way SLI with 2 ordinary SLI bridges

From reading, all six SLI connections must be used. A 3 way bridge like Juggalo posted is the only option.

They have Trisli connectors that are ribbons so you can move them a good bit. Thats what you need mate.

Well the board should have come with proper connectors, but the BR cheaps out on that it would seem. I didn't know there were 3way ribbon bridges.

This one might fit, as it has offset spacing.

That is the wrong spacing. that is classified with a phsx card spacing. I'm not even sure if the bloodrage supports tri-sli

Uh what? look at his pic and rethink what you wrote. It might not be the exact spacing needed, but it shows what he needs and that is offset spacing. Also:http://www.foxconnchannel.com/produc...d=en-us0000430
