I purchased 2 Bitspower cooling blocks for Asus Strix GTX 1080Ti along with 2-slot bridge (model BP-VGAB2AC-CL), to be used in ASRock X470 Taichi motherboard. 

The motherboard's spacing between the twp PCIe x16 connectors is  also 2 slots (this is a link to the SLI card's specs: https://www.asrock.com/mb/spec/card.asp?Model=SLI_HB_Bridge_2S%20Card), however and to my surprise the BP-VGAB2AC-CL bridge comes up short and so it cannot bridge the VGA cards. So, my question is:

Which of these two Bitspower models will be a proper fit for my motherboard:  the 3-slot BP-VGAB3AC-CL or the 1-4 slots BP-VGAB14AC-CL?

Thank you in advance,

Velizar

P.S. The cooling block are awesome btw, great job by your engineering team!

Dear Villy,
 

Since your mother board ASRock X470 Taichi is a little special,

It hides two slots, so BP-VGAB14AC-CL is the correct one for SLI bridge.
