Hi
I have a Gigabyte X58A-UD5 motherboard and a pair of Gigabyte (GV-R587D5-1GD-B) 5870s in Crossfire.
Due to the layout of the board - i.e. the distance between the PCIe slots, when the cards are both in they are just about touching - 1-2mm gap, at best.
I would like to move the the cards to slots 1 and 3 to give better air flow to each of the fans as when the second card is installed the "first" card temperature raises by ~10 degrees and the second runs ~10 degrees hotter still
Although this is fine when idle, when under load they do get toasty.
To move the cards to slots 1 and 3 requires a long (100mm) CF Bridge - which is not provided by either the motherboard or GFX cards.
I have a long standing, ongoing, thread with GTS - but it is going round in circles and basically I am being fobbed off.
Surely, after spending c£1000 on Gigabyte products, Gigabyte could send me a long CF bridge ?
Pleae can you help?
