4 way SLI 480s at Evga?????

**lduguay** · 04-08-10, 01:40 PM

I just can't see how those 480's are connected to the motherboard. It looks like the last (or first) card is not even connected. Also there is a plastic wrap covering the fan on that same card?
No LEDs on the top of the 480 are on?

Looks like a single big SLI bridge that goes over all four cards.

Using the high end Classified board that does 4 way SLi. The ony board that supports it.

4-way SLI with these on air has to be about the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

OK, the SLI Bridge connects to the inner edge of all 4 cards. I can only imagine a 1KW worth of heat being generated by those cards.

Just make sure you don't stick your hand behind the cards. It might burst into flames...

Jacob make sure you drink plenty of fluids before and during benchmarking.
