EK Bridge help

[V4NT0M]

Just got another 290 and want to get it hooked up to my loop, I just want to make sure I'm getting the right bridge to connect them up.

There is one PCI and one pcie slot in between the cards and I'm using an Asus P8Z77-V LX:

Is this the right bridge?

Thanks

Best way is to measure the exact distance between the slots so that you are 100% sure it's the right bridge.

Also make sure you use the right device (Bridge vs Terminal) depending on which waterblocks you are using on your cards.

If you are using EK blocks with your 290 I think they use the EK Terminal system rather than EK Bridge.

Something like this should fit the bill

It depends on the type of block.

Old-style CSQ (circles) uses 3-slot bridge as linked in OP. New-style clean blocks use the terminal. Motherboard spacing is for 3-slot bridge/terminal.

I've pretty much just bought the exact same blocks but in nickel and from what i've seen on be ek cooling configuration they use terminal.

What you need is one of these bridges depending on if you want to go Serial or Parallel.

Serial : EK-FC Terminal DUAL Serial 3-Slot

Parallel : EK-FC Terminal DUAL Parallel 3-Slot

Both versions are available in Acetal or Plexi finish

Thanks Luc, doh, seems OCUK don't stock those...

Hmmm /wonders if I can hold out 4 - 5 days with this stock cooler or pay for express delivery with EK.
