Custom Length Xfire Bridge

[Guest]

Hey Guys I am in need for a custom bridge to X fire my Video cards. I can use the supplied bridge but I don't want the cards that close together So I want to skip a PCI Express slot to allow more airflow for the cards to breathe. Is it possible to order a custom bridge? Also if So it the MFG of the bridge a big deal. I need one about 6-7 inches long.

I have not seen anyone selling custom crossfire bridges. I have seen some rather long SLI ones,but those do not work for AMD card clearly.

So you want a bridge that will pass 3 slots including the first slot the card is in? Dual slot card + 1 space before the next card right? I am almost sure they do have those since some boards have that kind of spacing.

Exactly I worry about the Card temps if I crossfire them being that they would be so close to each other. Eventually I may install water blocks but for now the fans will need to suffice. So my theory would be if I skip the middle slot that would give both cards enough breathing room. Also thanks a ton for the reply I wasn't sure if it was even possible so that is why I asked.

Just so you know, google finds me this.

should be able to give you 1 full slot between the cards.

I just took a look at my bridges and my Nvidia ones are longer than the AMD ones. It also seems that the AMD ones I have game with cards. So I am not sure how someone with something like a P5W DH would get by seeing as the slots ARE 3 apart. It seems that Asus sells the bridges online as well.

@Nukemaster, Thanks for helping me out sir. I am not very knowledgeable with SLI and Xfire, Although I should be. I do think the Bridge you linked will work for me so I will be ordering it today. Thanks a Whole lot Sir.
