    I have a feeling it would work with any board with the slots in the right position. Not that there are many other boards out there worth using that don't support quad-sli out of the box
    I want your HD 5970s and HD 5970 waterblocks.

    If you can get the bios code right, as to recognise the Expander board, yep then you might achieve it...

    Nice setup Hazzan

    The expander raises the cards right?

    Won't this mean they will never align properly inside a case?

    Fails except for open board benching..

    What a waste of 2 NF200 chips.

    Edit: Added a d to board.

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    This is clearly meant for benching...

    Though if Nvidia would get off their damn high horse and allow you to run 4-way SLI at x8/x8/x8/x8, you wouldn't need this. But why would they do that when they make money off every NF200 sold? It's got a be a gold mine for them.

    Nvidia Tax.
