AMD 290 Crossfire EK Blocks Bridge

[TekRok]

Guys I am in the middle of a water-cooling project and would like to connect two 290 video cards with a "bridge", basically trying to make it look clean and not just put a regular tube in between. What do I purchase to connect the two?

Do your blocks match? Who makes them? If you're buying the EK blocks EK makes a link connector thinger than goes between. You just need to buy the one that fits the correct spacing (i.e. 2 slot or 3 slot etc.)

I have the Asus Maximus Hero motherboard so I am using the 2 red PCI16 slots. I have the EK waterblocks for the 290/290x. I cant figure out which one I need to connect the two because I am confused on the spacing.

the two red slots are triple spacing (there could be 2 x1's between them, but only 1 is actually there)

i THINK its this one, but I can't confirm

You have 3 slot spacing between those two slots. Activate:AMD is correct that there is a gap where another PCI slot could go right underneath the top PCIe x16.

Depending upon whether you want to connect them serially or parallel.

Who actually sells these? i'm about to pick up a third 290/ekblock and would like to clean up the install.
