SLI Bridge Size

[Glacius]

Hey All,

I am in the process of upgrading from a 290X to 2 x EVGA 980TI's and all is going fine but I am not 100% sure what size/length SLI bridge I need, my motherboard is an Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 as picture below:

From what I have been reading up on I should be installing the 2 card's in the Light Tan coloured slots aka Slot 1 and Slot 3, but I am not to sure what size EVGA SLI bridge I need either:

or

or

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Did you receive an sli bridge with your motherboard? If so, measure it and that will let you know which one you need.

i would hazard a guess at the long one you need

40mm for 1 slot gap between the cards
60mm for 2 slot gap between the cards.

though im not 100% sure .. lol

I think you'd need the 3 way like I did.

Thanks for the replys but sadly I no longer have the SLI bridge that came with the motherboard was some time ago

Same as me I seem to find snippits of information some say the 60MM version and some say the 3 way version (80mm) kind of don't know which to get

If you're really not sure order both and send the wrong one back for a refund under distance selling.

Could you not just measure centre to centre on the 2 slots?

OP measure between the PCI-E slots where the card fits and it will give you the size.

Probably around 60mm.

980ti SLI would be completely wasted with an AMD FX CPU IMO. You'd be best of getting one 980ti and a Skylake or X99 CPU/motherboard
