I'm actually just getting ready to order my graphics card (probably going to get it next week when I get paid; a GTX 580), and everything I've been reading says the cooling on those cards are good, but in SLI setups not so much. They draw and exhaust heat back into your case, as opposed to out of it. This could lead to incredibly high temps on both your card and inside your case. Cards such as this exhaust out of your case (for the most part).Comment

All this talk about upgrading is making me want to leave an empty bank account and just buy parts!Comment

My bank account is empty lol.Originally posted by K PhaNTOM View Post
Good thing I only have the one fan then lolOriginally posted by KJHenf
When you SLI, what position of the card do you want to put the second fan. Exact same as the one on top/below? Just wondering for cooling purposes.We work in the dark, to serve the light. We are Assassins.

huh?
the cards will go in right on top of each other. if you're case is good, you'll have a fan opening above the cards. put the case fan there. now, with my old set up, i had air pushing in on the two cards. if these things are going to be blowing hot air back into your case, you may wish to have that fan be an exahust instead of intake.
something to think about as well, your top card, is going to run hotter than the bottom card. it wont have as much free space around its cooling fans. it will be sucking in the hot air off the back side of your lower card. This is why i had to have my fan on intake.Comment
