What Size Sli Bridge Do I Need

Regan Sink

I have a Gigabyte z170x Gaming 7 motherboard (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/production-page.aspx?pid=5481#ov) and I'm going to be SLIing ii GTX 1080s. I will be getting the Nvidia HB SLI bridge. What size practice I need to be able to apply it for the PCIe slot nearest the CPU and the one directly under? (The center one) Cheers in advance.

As well would you suggest I remove the backplate for SLI?

Edit: I don't have a measuring tool in mm. Anyone accept this mobo?

If you gyre down to nigh the bottom of the folio, y'all'll find a section nigh SLI Bridges and a link to help you find the right size. Since your motherboard has a three slot separation between the PCI-Ex16 slots for SLI, that's the one yous'll need (60.96mm).

You lot don't demand an SLI span at all with PCIE 3

Because some extremely loftier end cards tin saturate PCIE ii.0, so they put the bridge to lighten the load on the omnibus ever so slightly. A modern lath with PCIE 3.0 doesn't have to worry well-nigh this.

that's a guess I approximate ? how hard is it to mensurate things and be 100% certain ?? it would now exist funny you go with the 60mm and find y'all really needed the 40mm

lol.... all-time reply lol....

lol.... best reply lol....

Mainly because I have a concrete inability that limits me profoundly :')

If it isn't the 60, I'll get the twoscore. But due to spacing I believe lx
