PCI spacing for sli bridge

[FloppyPoppy]

hey everyone currently running sli 1080tis with a single 6 year old flexi cable.

Having seen some of the highly interesting results from people using nvidias high bandwidth bridge I'm going to pick one up. However my other hard bridge didn't fit as the fingers were about 5 mm off.

I have this motherboard https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...cket-1151-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-647-as.html (sorry can't make a real link as on mobile)

Am I correct in thinking I require a 60mm bridge for this motherboard?

Don't want to spend £40 on a bridge that won't fit hence the checking

Thanks for any input

Simple answer would be to measure the sli connection from one card to the other.

+1 with above comment. Remove cards and measure the slots with a rule. centre of top PCIE lane to centre of the lower one. That will give you a measurement to reference too a bridge. Its hard to say otherwise and it will ensure you get the right one.

5mm is nowt, bend each card 2.5mm

Yeah it's 60mm, i measured the fingers and the rough distance along the side from the cards. could not be bothered to remove them
