sli-ing 9800gx2... cooling?

[le_killer]

i am thinking about sli-ing a second 9800gx2 card to my computer but i do not have water or liquid cool, merely air cool. Would it be possible to have both cards running with adding liquid or water cool, or is the rik of overheating really prevalent?

It wouldn't be the first time someone did an air-cooled Quad SLI setup - but you had better have top notch air cooling.

What kind of case do you have?

u will be fine as long as u have a good case and plenty of fans. my card is oc at 725/1120 its sitting at 65c idle and 77+ on load but i have one adding 2 doesnt seem like a problem.

I actually have the XPS 730, i know many people say a lot of crap about it, but its the best tower design ive ever seen. It has plenty of room for air florw and support to all the main components. I didnt want H2C cause its much more money then need be for the parts and labour...
