EVGA SLI Bridge Connector connector.

[Chris Miller]

Hi i just bought a second EVGA GTX 970 SSC yesterday, set it all up etc then realised theres no SLI connector in the box, checked motherboard box and nothing so was pretty gutted that you pay all that money yet they cant put an sli cable in. Anyways i have seen an official EVGA connector that lights up or something and just needed to know wether it will fit properly seeing as its rigid not flexible.

My Mobo is MSI Z77A-G45 with 2x GTX 970 super superclocked GPU.
Any help is always appreciated thanks.

I don't seem to remember getting an SLI bridge with my GTX 970, but one definitely came with my motherboard. EVGA are supposed pretty good with this kind of thing - perhaps drop them an e-mail and ask if one was supposed to be in the box? (they might just send you one)

EDIT: This implies nVidia boards don't come with them: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/226259-sli-gtx-970/

SLi bridges have always been supplied with the motherboard in my experience.

yep my msi mobo came with one. Can probably order a reg sli bridge for cheap.

well managed to get a sli bridge cable but it wont enable it in nvidia control panel its just disabled, what to do.

Up motherboard drivers AND bios. Then make sure you have the latest nvidia drivers and make sure you have the sli beige plugged into the same spot on both cards. Once all that is done it should enable it. If you screen goes blank for a bit it's ok just wait. Mine for some reason takes like over a minute sometimes once I click enable sli. Not sure why but the screen eventually comes back on and my sli is enabled. Good luck!
