I actually purchased an EVGA SLI bridge, only to discover that the Asus Rampage V Extreme (and other Asus X99 boards) are configured differently, with more space between the first and third slots. Is there an EVGA bridge designed for the new Asus board?

Thanks, Pgcmoore, for the prompt reply.
That, in fact, is the bridge I ordered and while it is appropriate for the cards, it does not fit the slots on the ASUS board, which are more widely spaced.

You should see 3 different ones in that link
 
also there are these./...  with a good guide to spacing.

Thanks again, Pgcmoore, with apologies for replying in this forum and not to you directly. Of the three bridges, I had ordered the two-way SLI which, as I say, does not fit the cards as they are fitted on the Asus board, which itself does not seem to follow the configuration of other, earlier boards (as the Asus rep explained to me).

if you can measure the distance between the sli slots (in mm) we can help you find what you need better.

In fact, I did measure the distance, which I provided to EVGA. It is exactly the distance between the first and third slot on the Asus three-way SLI bridge, which is to say, 3.25 inches. I did not use the three-way bridge, however, because I was not certain that it was appropriate for a two-way configuration.

the long skinny one is 60mm apart. on the 2/3 way one each set is 40mm apart, if yours is 3.5 inches , thats,uuuuummmmmmmm  89mm?  so I think your out of luck. If they were 80mm apart the 2/3 way would work.

If I measure from the first set of pins in slot one to the first set in slot three, it is 81.5 mm. Although this may mean that I cannot use an EVGA bridge (at least for the time being), it does prompt me to ask if I actually CAN use the Asus 3-way bridge (using only slots 1 and 3) in a 2-way configuration.
