MSI custom SLI Bridge review - Introduction

MSI custom 3 and 4-way SLI bridges
Quick review: Quite Silent, a little Big but aesthetically pleasing

MSI recently started offering new 3 and 4-way SLI bridges that will incorporate an included fan that blows air towards the graphics card fans and thus over the graphics cards as well. As such in this  article we'll do a quick review / overview of the new MSI SLI bridges. MSI recently updated their SLI bridge SKUs with new 3 and 4-way SLI models that comes with an all new design and even some added cooling. Following last year’s successful introduction of the MSI 2-Way SLI Bridge in full GAMING and that red Dragon style

The new bridges can be used with reference cards as well as the latest TwinFrozr V design based MSI GeForce GTX graphics cards. The bridges include a detachable 120mm silent fan with special mounting bracket. The added benefit is that you can get some fresh air towards your graphics card more quickly as well as get some extra airflow going over the PCB components. 

 
Both the 3-Way and 4-Way SLI Bridge Kits are forged from the same materials as the previous 2-way Bridge, including a LED illuminated GAMING logo that can be controlled by the MSI Gaming App. Your basic functionality would be on/off and a bit of fading here.
 

 
The new SLI Bridge Kits support SLI setups using MSI GeForce GTX 900 series graphics cards as well as reference cards. Though you could use it on other motherboards as well above an overview of motherboards that are definitely comptroller (just make sure the PCIe slots line up when using a different brand/model). We's assume you'd want to use this kit with a Dragon Gaming style motherboard anyway, purely for aesthetics.
