Hi everyone! I am a graphic designer, currently working on 3d graphics. I want to install a GeForce GTX 980 Ti SC GAMING (EGVA) to my current configuration with Nvidia SLI. My biggest concern it's about the temperature of the components and the possible risk of damage.

Processor: I7-5930K
MoBo: ASUS (2011) SABERTOOTH X99
Current Graphic Card: EVGA PCIE GTX970 SC 4G DDR5
Hard drive I: SAMSUNG 850 EVO MZ-75E250B/AM 2.5¨ 250GB SATA III Solid State Drive
Hard drive II: TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB
Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400
Liquid Refrigeration: CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES™ H100I V2 EXTREME PERFORMANCE WATER / LIQUID CPU COOLER. 240MM.
Power supply: THERMALTAKE SMART M1000W
Case: THERMALTAKE URBAN S41


Any advice is welcome!

Thanks in advance for the help.

Santiago.

Can I use both without it instead? I want to use it with Octane Render Engine.
