Which SLI bridge?

post #1 of 17

Thread Starter 
I bought the EK FC dual link bridge for my new setup, put the thing together and only then noticed that I would have to install my two cards in two different pcie slots - x16 and x8. I know, stupid. Can someone tell me which bridge I would need to place the two cards on pcie slot 1 and 4. For instance, would this be the right bridge?

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/ek-fc-bridge-triple-parallel-gpu-block?utm_source=google+shopping&utm_medium=google+shopping

Bummed that I have to spend another 20 quid on a bridge. I suppose I could just run tubing, but then I'd have to buy two more compression fittings, whichwould be more expensive otherwise.

Thanks for any advice.

You will need a bigger bridge if you want to use 1 & 4.
