    Hi all,

    I've got a question. My SLI bridge is a flexible SLI bridge and a bit long for my needs. It works fine though. :)

    However I worry about the fact that the bridge is about 2-3mm from touching the brackets in the case. The brackets are used for fastening PCI cards etc.

    Should I have any worries since the bridge is covered in plastic? I mean - all the copper inside is protected from direct contact via the plastic.

    You can see the type of SLI bridge here. (Danish site....)

    If you're worried could you bend it inbetween the cards instead of outwards?

    Thank you both. Think I will try to push the bridge between the cards. :)

    alternatively, you could go on ebay and buy shorter bridges.

    I purchased a hard bridge from ebay for 7 bucks because my bridge was flexing into a fan.

    The problem for me with buying a hard bridge is that I don't know how far apart the plugs are on the bridge = will the bridge fit my cards?
