Have I messed up? (EK-FC bridge)

I bought a plexi dual parallel bridge direct from EK for use on a P9X79 Pro board, the problem being I don't have the board yet to check the spacing.

I plan on using 2x GTX 680 with EK blocks.

Looking at the picture of the example spacing it should be ok, but I was looking for confirmation as it took a week to arrive and I don't fancy another week to wait for a triple bridge.

Anyone help?

Looking at the P9X79 Pro the spacing for the GPU's looks the same as the RIVE (if you use the blue slots)
Then you have to use one of these

Unfortunately I made the same mistake & purchased a three slot two card link.
I then had to purchase the three slot version

I'd be looking to use the first PCI (blue) and the first PCI (white), basically putting the cards next to each other as normal.

Doesn't the instructions illustrate the slot spacing? I'm sure they used to.

If you use the first blue PCIe and first white PCIe slots then I think you're ok - those two slots would result in 2 dual-slot graphics cards being right next to each other. And the bridge you have is for that spacing, I think.

http://www.ekwb.com/shop/blocks/vga...rts/ek-fc-bridge-dual-parallel-csq-plexi.html - your block - says it needs PC slots 40mm apart. For mine, I had dual-slot graphics cards with an extra empty slot in between them, which was 60mm apart.

I'm confident it will work but I've also ordered a triple slot dual card block to try alternative options.
