Pros: even without the fans it keeps my 8800GT's 5-10C cooler which is great
Cons: cooler is so large it prevents you from connecting the sli bridge. ( unless you have one thats flexible and is meant to a third PCI E slot) "

Thanks bro just saw that. I geuss I could get myself a flexible sli bridge.

Reply to bryan240g

The SLi Bridge wont help at all, all it does is connect the card. If the cards are in each other's way, then you wont be able to connect them into the slots. You could also opt for a smaller cooler that will get the job done. BTW that Pentium 4 will most definately bottleneck those cards, its pointless, you need a new proc.

Pentium 4????Dude I don't have a pentium 4. I will be using either the e8400, or the q9450, haven't decided yet.

Reply to bryan240g

oh Well, i saw on ur specs a Pentium 4 3.4, woops, its a D @ 3.2. On the proc choice, i'd say the 9450 aint worth the money at its price right now.
