Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler (RR-212E-20PK-R1)
Reviewed by AlDyer

All in all great cooler for the money and has always worked reliably. Excellent for a backup cooling system or for low-cost budget computers, while still being able to overclock.

Damn - so I really want to use the x2 x16 PCIe slots if I have them on the board. Still none the wiser as to which bridge I'd need. Why do you think the one I linked is too small? It only needs to stretch another 10mm to the next slot. Can't find any info about it

Could I just use the first and third bridges on this and leave the second empty?

I downloaded the MB manual and the spacing between 1 & 2 throws it off. That is why you will need a quad bridge. However, go to the RIVE owners thread and ask an owner. I am just going by the manual pics so I may be wrong.
