sli hb bridge

[joinmycreed]

i purchased the MSI Z270 SLI PLUS mb with the plan to sli gtx 1080s, but nowhere do i see the the bridge size needed between the pcie slots. Nvidia has the little pic with 3 different options but idk which to choose

Measure distance between PCIex slots. Compare the result with those shown on nvidia page (each bridge has it's size listed). Choose the one that matches.

I was hoping to order one before I have the motherboard

You could check mobo manual, but I doubt you would find that info there. MSI mobo manuals are just a joke really ...

never had a problem with them and most reviews for this one are good but ill try to find it

Yeah mobo should be good, just their manuals are not good

yeah looked through and nothing, so dumb thats not mention as its a sli board lol

ther space looks rather big between the 2 main pcies and then theres also 2 small pcie between the normal 2 so would that mean its the 4 slot bridge?

 

[DRagor]

Judging just by picture, i would say rather 3 slot (silver to silver) and then 2 slot (silver to black)

 

[joinmycreed]

yeah the silver is the ones i want. I have the evga ftw 1080s do i need the evga bridge or will the normal nvidia one work too?

They should exactly the same. But I don't know if they are included with GPU.
