Not sure if anyone wanted to see this directly, but I did see the question about the PCB come up once or twice in the forum, so I opened up the 3090 NVlink to show off the insides. 
 
I do like the screwless design for the case.  This NVlink does not have any form of lighting on it like past SLI bridges and NVlinks had.

    Don't you judge me, lol.
     
    Yes, I am going to go with 3090's in the end.  I probably shouldn't, but I want to, so I am.  I don't have any good reasoning behind it other than my wife wants to buy one of the cards for my christmas, and it was either a 3090 or an iPhone 12, so.... I am sticking with the iphone 11.

    I wanted to do 3090 sli myself, but with nvidia killing off sli profile support for dx11 games & game developers not implementing mgpu I said nope. Oh, and not to mention two kingpin cards would draw 700+ watts each with an uncapped vbios. Really pushing close to the 1600w mark. Don't know if a single psu would get it done.

    yeah, that part is a bummer.  I will use it mostly for benchmarking this winter, and folding as well, but I am not looking specifically into the game benefits of the SLI bridge.

    The bridge looks interesting - the cover looks almost leather-like tbh. Will be getting one - thought it was in stock but is now sold out.

    Question. Can you even run 3090 SLI on a single power supply? Everytime I have seen a setup, everyone is running two psus.

    Who says I am running 1 power supply ;-)

    And yes, you can get a 1600w PSU and run it. May not be great for extreme overclocking, but standard use would be fine.

    They are definitely plastic all around, but I really like the texture they added to the external cover. I think the gray portion would have been nicer if it were glossy, but I’ll never see that once the bridge is installed, so it won’t hurt anything.

    I was hoping for better quality!
