Looking For Solid SLI Bridge That Goes Over Two PCI Slots

[shatterhd]

I have an MSI Mpower Max and a 3 way sli bridge I had laying around. It will fit on the bottom but my GPUs decide to run in X4 and not work in SLI. There are 2 PCI Slots between each card. Heres a picture to better explain http://i.imgur.com/wzafpES.jpg . I can confirm these 2 slots work as I am currently using it on a flexible one.

I really do not want to use a flexible SLI bridge so something like this EVGA Pro SLI should fit right? http://www.evga.com/images/forum/3-way.jpg

I only want a solid one for aesthetic reasons.

Yes that will fit.

I was just looking at Amazon reviews for it and it says the 3 way does not fit on their motherboard thats the same setup as mine. X16 - 2 X1 PCIs - X16. I have a 3 way SLI bridge thats old and doesn't work and I just tested it and it does not fit so do I need a 4 way for 2 gpus over 2 pci slots?

Edit: Review says they have a gigabyte z87x-ud5h which is an identical to the mpowers layout except the slot above the 3rd pci x16.

They 'fingers' are 40mm apart. Rip out the tape measure and check the distance. It does look like the 3SLI bridge will work

Also note that there are 2 x 2SLI, 40mm and 60mm.

Its 60mm between each connector.

Here if this helps (Sorry my camera sucks).

So a 40mm 3way sli bridge should work?

So this should fit correct?

If your connectors are 60mm apart then this is the connector you want to use. It has a 60mm gap between the connectors.

The other 2SLI 3SLI and 4SLI are all 40mm gaps.

I just bought a 40mm evga pro from the my local store and it fits. I already had a broken 60mm and it didn't fit because it was a little bit to long so its pretty obvious what the length was.

Glad to hear that. Hope it looks good (feel free to upload a photo) =P
