Plug On Crossfire Bridging Cable Won't Fit Video Card

[muskyx1]

Is there supposed to be a standard or something for bridge connectors. The one that came with the P6T MB is too narrow to fit over the crossfire tabs on the HD4830. Tab A and B are both the same width and the bridge cable won't fit on it.

i think thats an sli cable. Crossfire cables come with the videocards; sli comes with the motherboards.

this is probably a stupid question, but did you make sure you arent using an SLI header instead of a crossfire header? i havent owned an nvidia card since my 6600GT, but upon looking at the 6600GT it has narrower SLI headers than both my HD2900PRO and my HD4670 512 have for crossfire. maybe check the box to see if you missed something? that bridge connector looks like it would only fit on my 6600GT

ed: beaten to it apparently. i just checked the box for my 2900PRO 1GB and it did include a crossfire bridge. however, my hd4670 512mb did not. both are sapphire brand vanilla products. still, the crossfire bridge im holding now is equally wide as yours is narrow. you're using an SLI bridge hehe

The connector that comes with the p6t is for SLI, not crossfire.

(It's listed under accessories)

Edit:
It should also be noted that all the lower end 4000 series cards (below 4850) don't include the crossfire bridge, I don't know the reason for it either.

Best bet would call a local computer shop and see if they have any; or perhaps someone on here might be willing to mail you one; or even the cards manufacture.

Edit 2:
Newegg sells them.

Both are the same as far as I can tell, other than logo design.
