Where can I buy an SLI bridge?

Hello mates... I'll be moding a DFI Ultra-D to SLI soon and need to find an SLI bridge that's either 2 inches or flexible.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find such?

If the motherboard is SLi, it would have come with one. I'd say check their site and see if they have one.

ebay?

If you had an A8N-SLI or if the A8N-SLI's bridge connector will work on a DFI, My mobo is trash and I have a bridge just sitting around. I would have no problem shipping it to you for the cost of shipping

@Burninate- can you measure it for me? It needs to be exactly two inches. Thanks for your generosity!

If this isn't the right length I guess I'll look into a flexible bridge from eBay. Those retailers want too much.

Sorry, No Dice. It measures 2 3/4 inches long. I didn't know they made flexible bridges. As far as I know though, you might be able to run SLI without a bridge connector.

$20 for a small SLI bridge now thats pricey!

I think you can run sli without a bridge but performance is lower as they have to communicate vie the PCI-e which means less screen data can pass through it. Not sure how much lower it would be tho.

I guess I can test this theory... I have a bridge that came with my SLI-DR, which I'm currently using in my main rig. So I could pull it temporarily and test on the modded Ultra-D with and w/o the bridge to see if there's a difference.

Just out of curiosity... does anyone know when nVidia started supporting SLI w/o a bridge?

I've heard of a driver hack that would allow one to run SLI on an Ultra chipset with no modding, but I assumed one would still need a bridge.

As someone questioned previously, of course there's no bridge for this Ultra-D b/c it's not SLI from the factory. I'll be hard modding the chipset to SLI effectively turning it into an nF4 SLI chipset. So I need to find a compatible or third-party bridge.
