Hello guys, awesome work on the forum, have been an avid reader, but first time poster!
So, to cut to the chase I would like to extend my 4 x NVIDIA 570 GTX so I can get 'em out of the case to properly cool them, and I was exploring the option of PCI riser cables. The main question is: Do they affect performance and if yes, up to what length is it acceptable for GPGPU purposes? On top of that, prices vary from 5 to 50 $, any specifications I should look out for before purchasing 4 of them? Thanks a lot!!
PS: I have invested lots of money in those 4 GPUS, so finding a proper cooling solution with zero impact on performance is my number one priority. Thanks a lot for your help!
PS2: I am attaching pictures of my case so you can see that there is not enough space between the GPUs for proper air circulation!
