I am building a new system and am trying to determine if its worth the cost/risk to run sli on air cooling alone. I'd rather just run one video card if possible. The case I bought before I really thought it out was a thermaltake new soprano and it has a large 200mm front fan, a 120mm bottom intake fan and one 120mm exhaust fan. With no other fan mounting options I'm concerned about heat damaging the system if I had to run sli. Do you guys think this setup would run modern games at 2560X1440 resolution with just this one video card. If not - could I run sli? would it really impact the heat in the case? I do not want to go the water-cooled route just for convenience sake.
Thank you for your input
