| 755359 | 2009-03-11 00:42:00 | As title states my crossfire bridges that came with my 2 asus 4870 1gb cards are not quite long enough to reach on my new xfx x58i mobo. they reach the x8 slot but the x16 slots are 1 pci slot 2 far away. anyone know where I can get a longer cf cable? alternatively does someone want to buy 2 4870s?:lol: on a side note if your thinking of getting a i7 system I wouldnt as have not been impressed with my new one I just built but if your that keen at least dont get an xfx x58i mobo - worst mobo ever... |

| 755361 | 2009-03-11 01:33:00 | Just use the x8 slot, you wont tell the difference. +1, for most games/apps you will only see a 1-7% difference |

| 755362 | 2009-03-11 04:16:00 | Yea I would use the x8 slot but having the cards so close together makes the top card about 10-15 degrees hotter on average so if it was easy/cheap enough to get a longer one I would do it. | LOWTEC (7821) | ||
| 755363 | 2009-03-11 05:15:00 | AFAIK you can't get longer crossfire bridges:( Since it runs hotter maybe an after market cooler would help? |
