  | Re: problem with sli connector ... At the risk of frying your parts... I would assume that the sli bridge would have to be made to a standard, and if it fits, my guess would be that it would work. If it doesn't, then RMA the board.

    | Re: problem with sli connector ... Just covering the basics here but do you have the sli selector in the bios set to auto? And if you do it takes a couple of reboots to get it running, the first reboot to enable the hardware, and the second to enable the software. Makes me love my DFI board ever so much more.

| Re: problem with sli connector ... Thats slightly odd, my motherboard is quite old, a Gigabyte K8NXP SLi and it has never moaned about not having an SLi bridge... Maybe an updated mobo BIOS would enable that feature on your board.
