XFire Bridge

[Junglerog]

So my second Asus 5870 v2 arrived in the post today, I was all excited, did the tricks with the drivers, installed second card, power cables and when it came to the last part which is crossfire bridge and I've got punched in the face. Since it is advised in manual for crosshair IV formula to put the card into slots 1 and 3 there is no way it can be done with regular bridges provided with the cards. What a disappointment, after waiting for over 10 days (weather condition+Christmas) now I've got to wait even more....

Anyway, my question is, where should I look for 2 long Xfire bridges?and do i need 2?

Thanks for prompt answer, I googled that there's no difference for 1 or 2 bridges if u use 2 cards, but got myself 2 for an aesthetic factor.

i noticed with my dual 5870s if i stay at stock clocks and 2 bridges does not make a difference for me. but when i overclocked to 1000 core 1375 memory and added the second bridge i got better results by about 700 to 1000 in 3d2011.
