Guide to SLI Bridge Mod
Ok this is a quick guide how to strip down an EVGA Sli bridge. I have done this as I found painting mine very tricky, therefore I've dismantled my small one to show you it is possible. Also a few of you had asked whilst I was doing Primo Midas if it was possible.
What you will need...
1. A heatgun, or hair dryer.
2. A small hobby knife.
3. Most important, a T6 torque screwdriver.
4. Some double sided tape or similar.
Steps
Using your T6 torque screwdriver, remove the two screws on the back and separate the two halves.
Next use your heatgun to gently heat the metal tabs, you don't need a lot of heat. Then using your knife gently prise up from one corner to separate the metal from the top, try not to force it too much or you will bend the metal. Just apply a wee bit more heat so that the glue will more readily give.
Once it comes free you can easily lift it off with your finger
This is how you should end up at this stage. For reference the small plastic EVGA logo will prise off very easily with your knife should you want to.
Now you need to remove the glue backing from the underside of the tabs.
Tease it off with your finger, kinda roll it over itself until its all off.
Once the underside looks like this you can then do what you wish to the tabs either spray painting or carbon wrap or whatever you are planning. Once you have sprayed your metal tabs and they are dry (if you painted them), simply cut some of your double sided tape and apply to the underside taking care to cut out the slots. I don't have any tape so I've just coloured in black where you should apply your tape.
Now just simply reattach your modified tabs to the top and then screw the top and bottom halves back together. Hey presto you are all done.
As you can see I removed my dodgy gold paint job
Also for the more adventurous I tried changing the colour that you see through the EVGA logo using coloured plastic gels, the kinda used by in large stage lighting. However the stuff I found did not provide a good enough colour and I decided not to use it. The LED's themselves look to hard to change for me tbh.
For reference I also split my triple sli bridge that's in Midas to see if the colour changed much but my plastic doesn't really give a good effect. but just so you can see what I mean here's a pic. If the likes of Parvum had some off cuts they'd maybe make them to fit this
Anyway guys its very easy so don't try taping the bridge up with masking tape to paint it, just follow those steps and you'll get a much nicer finish.
