Anyone able to help me out?

Seems you can't buy them

Are they a generic size ?

Yeah, all standard size afaik. Pretty sure I've got several sitting at home that have never been used. Obviously I'd have to post it so if you get no other offers, let me know.

Actually, they're not :( It depends on the make and model of the mainboard.. I've got a couple of different size ones floating around somewhere.

What's the mainboard you're chasing one for?

hmm righto. know of any info that mentions different sizes? i just had a quick look at couldn't find anything. nothing in the nvidia sli faq that I could see.

Anyway, the sli conenctors I've got are all the same size, fit a stock gigabyte and tyan board where the 2 PCI-e x16 slots are seperated with a PCI-e x1 slot between them if thats any help.

I've got some sitting around at work in my 'misc cables' bins..

they come in two types: cables (length doesn't really matter much here), and then there's board-specific pcb types

jmr,

the P5KC has an Intel P35 chipset that doesn't support sli. it might do ATi's crossfire okay, though I've not tried it with the P5KC

If any of you guys has a spare sli bridge at least 90cm long it would be great. I lost the one that came with my gigabyte mobo. I just invested in a coupla 8800GTS to SLI and I obviously can't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
