My ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer is here...

Hi there everyone,
...
Can anyone tell me if Asus provides an extended length Crossfire bridge in the retail box ?
...

Yes it does. The extended length bridge is in the box (just checked it).

Also, would like to report a glitch with the "special bios" - sometimes, the system doesn't power on properly. Meaning that the fans start spinning and the HDDs are getting detected, but the keyboard, mouse, and the monitor dont power on and then the system hangs. Pressing the reset button resets the computer and the system loads normally. It happends approximately 6/10 times you turn on the PC. Have to press the reset everytime...

Other than that - the bios is stable.

Sorry to disagree with you....the Bridge you have in the retail ASUS box is an SLI bridge, not a crossfire bridge, just checked the one I have and also checked NEWEGG product description. As I said before, the crossfire bridge ONLY comes with the ATI cards and usually it is the short one. also, check the list of the package components in the manual ("1X ASUS SLI Bridge") ("1X ASUS 3 way SLI card") Para 1.2

Yes, you are right. That extended bridge is an nvidia SLI bridge. There is no crossfire bridge in the package - my bad

Don't beat yourself up This error has been made before, why the M-Board mfg's dont't include a Crossfire bridge has been a mystery for a long time

lol Maybe you do have the newer version, because I only have the tri-sli connector and the extended one (the one, I thought was for ATI cards initially) and that's it. Doesn't look like I'm halucinating either
But, probably, what you have is a connector for nvidia cards? ...

your takling about of your arse mate

i have the P6T7 SuperComputer motherboard and it came with a 3 way SLI bridge, AND an extended ATi CrossFire bridge for 3 way Crossfire (tri-fire if you like...).

Could be on your side of the pond, the packaging is different, but, over here the ONLY thing with the retail board is the 3 way SLI (Nvidia) card and an extended SLI (Nvidia) bridge ribbon cable. See if either one of your connectors will fit on an ATI card, then you will know for sure. Also be careful how you tell someone where they are talking out of (arse), some of us DO KNOW what we are talking about. As in my original post on this issue the component list came out of the manual itself. HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!

Yeah mine came with the nvidia cables only too(no crossfire cables).

On other note, that new bios 0504 solved my sleep/wake issue and is much more stable ,took em long enough.This board has been rock solid since day one. Happy Holidays
