My friend is getting a new computer so he is giving me his video card. It is the same exact video card that I have but I do not know which SLI bridge to buy so I can put them together...

Vid card : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127832
\\\No idea why that is so expensive now, we paid like 1/2 that price for them...

Pretty much any ribbon sli cable would work.

If you want a fancy Sli bridge, It would be the 60mm version.

Lame!! I got the sli bridge today and it fits, but I guess the motherboard only supports crossfire and not sli. I went ahead and ordered a new motherboard. This one specifically states it supports sli lol...

Interesting choice of motherboard. Yeah some of the lower end motherboards only able to do crossfire over x4 PCI-e on the second card.

You would need to put the card in the top Slot PCI-E slot and 3rd PCI-E slot. For it to fit the 60mm bridge.

So this is my full build once I get the 2nd video card to work and my new motherboard. Like I said before though I got the 2nd card free and my original 970 I paid like half what the price is now. Does it seem like a retarded build? Lol

Nah its in the top. I just like the tubes from from the front instead of the rear.

You can see the radiator some on this picture.
