    I've been trying to work out the slot gaps for the quad connector:

    For the dual-SLI it's 60mm between connectors
    For Tri-SLI it's 40mm between connectors
    but for-Quad SLI it doesn't state but looks as though it's 40mm between connectors.

    Hmm actually it would hit my coolers. FFS why did I ever get triple slot? I have a feeling the second finger would definitely foul my cooler shroud.

    RATS. I wonder if you could remove them..

    Hmm so theoretically it should be the right length.. I just worry about desoldering the second finger down.

    Isn't the triple slot gap 60mm so the dual Bridge would fit?

    Should be able to. An image from Bit Tech's old tri SLI review shows the wiring:

    It's not long enough for my configuration. Piccy :)

    I've got my cards in the very top and very bottom slots. So I'm running X16 X4 with HyperSLI hacking it into action. Due to my triple slot coolers there's no other way to use both GPUs and my Revodrive. It's really, really annoying.

    That's a very good deal in that case!

    Did the parcel mention any price on the front?

    You could use Carbon Fibre vinyl wrap on the bridge, that would at least hide the white lettering

    Yeah I considered that :) I've still got my Asus ROG badge and a SLI badge too. I'd like to make one out of acrylic though really :)

    If I had a set of calipers I could give you the proper distance for the tri bridge. Of if you prefer pm me and ill dig it out and try to give you a semi accurate measurement. I think i have a machinist rule somewhere.

    P.S. it is an EVGA Tri Bridge came with my X58 Classified board. I also have a dual bridge I could measure if needed.

    I've just measured my Tri-SLI bridge and it's 81mm from the centre of one end's finger to the centre of the other end.

    Not a brilliant photo but gives you an idea.

    I've got a triple SLI bridge that came with my board but it's nowhere near long enough :)

    EVGA have released a tool for playing with them although it only works with 780/Titans and 327.23.

    Hmmm - apparently mine was delivered yesterday to my PO box. Only two problems though:

    1) I haven't received it

    2) I don't actually have a PO Box

    Edit: I bet this means it's being held at the post office until I pay a customs charge... I haven't received notification of having to pay one but I imagine I'll have to...
