Alright having questions about my SLI setup:

I have a Gigabyte GA-z77x UD3H, which has 1x16, 1x8 and 1x4 PCI-E 3.0 slots
I have two MSi 4GB GTX 760s

Currently, I have one in the 16x and one in the 8x slot, SLI bridge in between both. Good performance, but they still get hot even with my antec truequiet blowing right onto them through the side panel

My question is: will I see a huge performance drop if I put the extra slot between them, putting them in the 16x and 4x slot? This will definitely cool it down but is it worth the performance drop?

Thanks

Hmmm, I have seen it working before, not sure if that might be on an older board revision...
Temps reach around 70 per card when running games like Battlefield. I know it's not crazy hot, but I was used to around 50 before...
Will look at trying it in 4x
