Antec 902 & GTX 470 SLI?

[tie23he]

Will the Antec 902 provide adequate space and airflow for 2 GTX 470?

Yes, the 902 is a good case with a good amount of space.

Yeah I have one it's fine it can fit any size card so long as you don't have the middle cage filled with HDDs or a middle fan. I currently have 5850s and a center fan in the cage, it's close but even that fits. Without the fan there's another 6 or more inches to go lol.

Hello tie23he,

The GTX 470 has a lenth of 9.5 inches, there should be enough space in the Antec 902 case.

Ok but i'm a little concerned about the airflow of 2 SLI GTX 470.

Do you recommened going for the Antec 1200 or stick with 902

It shouldn't be a problem unless the PCI-e slots on your motherboard are right beside eachother. Even then, the addition of a fan blowing air in at them from the HDD bays should provide enough additional airflow.

O, my motherboard is ASUS P7P55D-E Pro

Is it good to go?

The 902 has great airflow, especially if you add the optional fans. And the ASUS mobo also has nice spacing, allowing for about an inch of clearance between the cards so the top one won't heat up so bad.

Yeah you've got two slots of space between the slots which translates to one slot of space between the cards. You're good to go!
