MSI to release new 3 and 4-way SLI Bridges with mounted FAN
MSI will soon release new 3 and 4-way SLI Bridges with a mounted FAN unit. Some early photos have reached the web, which you can see after the break.
So I think it is relatively safe to say that the graphics card market is ina slope right now, both manufacturers are waiting until volume production of 14/15/16nm will become a fact. And that fact should be around the May/June 2016 time-frame.
Hence the VGA teams have a bit more free time on their hands. Over at MSI they are fabbing new SLI connectors. MSI is to offer 3 and 4-way SLI bridges that will incorporate an included fan that blows cold air towards the fans and this over the graphics cards. not at all a bad idea really as 3/4-way setups can really bring a GPU to the boil due to bad airflow.
We should already have a couple of these units inbound, below the first photo of what that's going to look like. Apologies for the shaky camera photo. Once the new bridges arrive I'll do a proper photo-shoot and demonstrate them better.

Lol, they're determined to make these things nearly as expensive as the GPU itself.
..I bet you won't get much change from a $100/€100/£75
Agreed, i dont think this will be cheap to obtain.
that being said, i really like this idea - if i had an SLI setup i would consider the investment for better airflow between cards

you know I don't know what's taking them so long to put out soft tri and quad bridges ones with some play in them sorta over length of the slots.
2 cards it does not matter much on most modern mb'sbut when you have 3 or 4 cards its nice to be able to move the cards a bit(even just a little)for more air flow .you can put a big cfm fan on top but you still need some room for airflow between the cards.
I think I used a tri connect 1 time but it sucked so I always use 3 long soft connectors for tri now in a open bench rig that is.....well that said its about time they trash the connecters anyway

err this would be great for 2 cards as well... which is what the majority of people have as its common knowledge that 3 and 4 way sli doesn't scale well at all. Cutting out a section of the market for the win.

I'd just get a 90 degree rotated case from silverstone and all blower type gpus works no airflow issues in those set ups.
