SLI flex bridges

[blink hi]

Anybody know where I can land one? Need it to be at least 2.5" and flexible for an Intel board (P5WDH).

Asus sells motherboard parts directly.

That board cannot run SLI...No intel chipsets can Nvidia wont allow it

cant you do it if you get creative?

Doubt it. unless you can mod the shipset its crossfire only

i know u can use older drivers and actually see the settings within nvidia's ctl panel but still, it didn't work.

I don't think it's a chipset problem it's a driver problem. There's nothing essentially differnt between an Intel PCIe bus and an Nvidia PCIe bus.

Dont all SLI boards have switch one way or another for SLI via either the card in between PIC-X slots or jumper etc? i highly doubt its just drivers Nvidia isnt that dumb.

That was to switch the PCIe slots from x16/x1 to x8/x8.

No i mean like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowI...+Intel+Edition+ATX+Intel+Motherboard+-+Retail

You have to flip that card for single or SLI .

 

[ClearH2O]

That is what flipping the card does.

So if i get this right its for older SLI boards that didnt support dual 16x?

 

[TheGamerZ]

Right. It wasn't until a later revision of the nForce 4 that you could do dual x16.

Most of the motherboards now that do x16,x1 and then x8,x8, you can select the configuration in the bios, you no longer need the jumpers or card on the board. There is no reason an Intel board can't run SLI other then the nVidia drivers locking it out. The quadro drivers allow SLI on the Intel chipset, check the sig.

 

[newls1]

guys, you can run SLI on intel chipset board, you just need the modified SLI drivers. One issue is there the 85 series driver, and wont support the 7950GT, 7950GX2's. You could modify the inf file though (I think)

 

[xgambetx]

ok but where can we get the sli bridge? that stretches or so

 

[BinarySynapse]

google is your friend man.

In five seconds worth of searching I found out tha one of Asus' motherboards had a flexible SLI bridge. Find out the p/n, call them up, and order it. Also maybe can try looking on eBay.

I got one for $5 from Asus. I forget the exact link...
