Asus P5N-D 275GTX SLI compatible?

Hi,

I'd like to know if two 275GTX will fit in with an Asus P5N-D with Nvidia i750 chipset

i heard the slots are rather close together and was wondering if that would be a problem.

Also planning on getting an Antec 900 case (if thats relevant).

thanks

Hi. I'm getting a Dell 23 inch monitor that does a resolution of 2048x1152. I want to get a single GTX 275 to run DX10 on max quality for now. of the games I play, the biggest resource hog is Company of Heroes. In multiplayer 3v3 or 4v4 games it can get quite laggy on even high end cards today.

but I wanted to get an SLI board just so that I would have the option of getting an additional 275 GTX in the future, if I find that I need a better rig for future games like starcraft 2, order of war, etc (i'm a real-time strategy enthusiast).

I'm getting "SUPER QUIET 22dBA TRIPLE COPPER HEATPIPE CPU COOLER" and "ANTEC 900 CASING" with a E8400 3.0 GHz and 4GB of 800 MHz DDR2 RAM

Also, any idea if the PCI 2.0 slots will be the same used by 5870 and GT 300 series of cards?

I play CoH on an e8400 OC'd to 3.6 Ghz and the GTX 260 handles the framerates okay, even when I play skirmish against 4 experts computer players . I play on DX9 so I'm not sure about DX10 other than some games runs noticeable slower on DX10. A single GTS 275 should compliment the e8400 quite but unless you OC to 3.6 Ghz you're holding back that GTX 275.

I leave out the side panel out of my P5N-D sli rig just to help cool the videocards. That's why I'll never build an SLI rig again. Any SLI rig is not as as convenient than a single card set up. SLI means more problems.

For gaming, the e8400 wins over the Q8400 by a mile. The DDR2 800 is fine as they'll run on stock at 1600 FSB, 9 multi X 400 = 3.6 GHz. Look up Youtuibe on the e8400 and P5N-D overclocking tips.

@HundreIslandsBoy

I have a P5N-D in Sli with 8800s. His cards are much bigger, do you think he'll have any problem's with the P5N-D SATA location?

great thanks for the info. Could you just let me know if my CPU cooler + case combo is good enough for overclocking? ... what type of Case and CPU cooler do u have?
