Hi Russ,

Not wide enough?...do you mean not long enough to reach the other 5770?

Looks like most, if not all the longest ones on Ebay are 10cm 100mm,and i cant seem to find any longer ones.

Hi Nev mate how you doing.Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3(REV B3) SOCKET 1155 DDR3pci-express.
The plug at the end of the cable is not wide enough to clip on board if you know what i mean.

Looking at a pic of that motherboard,a 10cm/100mm Bridge should fit no problems.

One of these.

Im betting the one you currently have is a smaller 62mm.

If your saying the connector is not wide enough. Sure you not tying to put a SLI bridge on it. Crossfire bridges connectors are wider then a SLI bridge connector

I went to PC World and asked for a bridge to couple up 2 HD5770 and he gave me a bridge and said that's what i want but it will not fit over the bit on the graphics board.That's the only way i can explain it to you because i know nothing about computers.

It would cost me more to take it back so i might as put it with the rest of the shit i bought hahaha

The m/board i got was the one Aastii told me to get plus the rest of the stuff he told me to get which i am happy with because i know he would not put me wrong
