Swiftech (OTC Pink Current: RCHN), the leading force in driving the high-end thermal management scene in personal computers today announced the release of their new Universal Bridges.

Following the Komodo product lines, these bridges are available in two sizes: Luxury Edition (LE) and ECO Edition. The LE Edition distinguishes itself from the ECO version by an integrated RGB ALED lighting system compatible with the Swiftech Iris-Eco light controller.

The 1.6” (40mm) PCI spacing is currently available, and the 2.4” PCI spacing will be released in June 2017. Our new series of bridges provide an elegant and convenient solution to implement SLI/CrossFire with our Komodo waterblocks.

The Universal SLI & Crossfire VGA bridges provide a solid mechanical connection between two Komodo VGA water-blocks (1). This solution reduces the number of fittings necessary to hydraulically connect two block for an SLI or Crossfire setup, and provides an additional layer of safety by reducing the number of joints, as well as elegance to the liquid cooling system. The "Universal" denomination indicates that these products are compatible with all Komodo models for GeForce™ & Radeon™ series designed by Swiftech effective in 2016 (see related products below) and going forward.

Following the Komodo product lines model, these bridges are available in two series: Luxury Edition (LE) and ECO edition. The LE edition distinguishes itself from the ECO version by an integrated RGB ALED lighting system compatible with the Swiftech Iris-Eco light controller (2).

(1) Disassembly of the waterblocks original bridges is required for installation.

(2) The Iris-Eco light controller is supplied with the LE series Komodo waterblocks and AIO cooling kits, and also available for individual sale here.

Does this bridge split the inlet between two(or more) cards or does it daisy chain them?
If it's the latter, I'd consider it a waste of money. Especially in a x-fire or sli setup
