Steve135 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 So I just made the transition from red to green with my R1 and had a slight issue with the new SLI cable. In order to make it work it had to be routed over both GPU heatsinks, whereas the old crossfire cable was designed to fit over the palm rest, making right angles around the heatsinks. I placed some camera lens cleaning cloths between the cable and the heatsinks to provide some separation and just sticky taped them in place. I'm hoping this setup will work. Has anybody else experienced a situation like this? Do you recommend me keeping it this way or should I search for a SLI cable that has the right angles in it to go around the heatsinks?

Founder Brian Posted February 14, 2015 Founder Share Posted February 14, 2015 I had the same SLI cable setup when I owned the M18x-R1 and it was fine. You've got nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M18XCope123 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I did read a while back that the crossfire cables from Nvidia were failing due to the heat being transferred into the cable. I did a mod once with some thermal strips placed under the cable to keep it from becoming too warm ! Might be worth doing if you are worried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
