The picture below shows that two graphics cards are linked in parallel in an SLI configuration. SLI bridge connector (provided by motherboard manufacturer) Two SLI-ready graphics cards of the same type. (Example: GV-NX88X768H-RH) GIGABYTE Thermal Solution Guidelines(Note): 1. GIGABYTE established the use of silent pipes on graphics card's thermal solution, and has been the leading company for silent thermal solution. GIGABYTE's passive thermal solution allows system to work perfectly in chassis with 40~50 degrees Celsius through the air flow of the system. Please beware of the other excess component or insufficient system thermal design that may cause high system temperature. Excess high temperature will affect the passive thermal design and thus compromising system stability. 2. GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY's passive thermal design effectively implemented heat exchange, radiation and convection to improve stability of the system. Please maintain passive thermal sink at a normal and clean environment. Extra dust on heatsink may decrease the effectiveness of the thermal design. Silent Thermal Technology Passive Thermal Design (Note) Only for GV-NX96T1GHP/GV-NX96T512HP. GV-NX96T Series Graphics Accelerator - 12 3.
