Hello, I want to put dual R9 280x Crossfire on a Foxconn Flaming blade wich has PCIe 2.0. Will that run smoothly enough? as a single card wont fill the 2.0 16x(both) slot, but together how'd they do?
And another question, If i put watercooling on both, will i still be able to put my Revodrive 3 x2 on the PCIe 4x slot?
Thanks :)

This is my motherboard, http://images.novatech.co.uk/ev-fox-blgti1.jpg i guess i would have to check for the tubing and replace the motherboard's heatsink if possible
Hmm you said in the top, but the top aint 4x, thats the 3rd row

I can't, tried. But how about with a waterblock?

Even with a water block, it would be not enough space. Other than running the SSD on the second PCIE slot x16, consider getting a motherboard which has more spacing between the the PCIE.
Or get a Sata SSD.
