Some questions about SLI

[danzhang16]

Hi guys, I wanted to ask a couple questions. Firstly, in the future I'm looking to SLI my gtx 460, but I have ran out of PCI power connectors, how can I pull this off? Also, I don't have an SLI bridge, do I have to buy one, or should they come with the graphics card? Thanks, sorry for my noobiness!

Depending on the PSU you may be able to use molex adapters to get the required number of PCI connectors or you may just need to buy a more powerful PSU.

The SLI bridge should have come with your motherboard if it's SLI compatible.

but I have ran out of PCI power connectors, how can I pull this off?

Can you tell us what PSU & motherboard you have ??

Like Geckovich said..The SLI bridges always come with the motherboard..

if you dont have an sli bridge then you more than likely wont be able to do sli, the bridge usually comes with the motherboard. and if your psu doesnt have enough power connectors then that also means that the psu wasnt designed for sli, although you can get some adapters and give it a try if your motherboard is sli

AH I see, well I wasnt thinking of doing it on my current mobo, just in a future upgrade to a P67 one. So it should come with the motherboard? Phew, I thought I had lucked out when my graphics card didn't come with one, and thanks for the advice on the molex connectors. Right now I have a Coolermaster GX550w, according to some people that can handle 460 sli? Or not? If it can't I may well just opt for a better single GPU when the time comes for an upgrade
