Can the asus P6T se hold 2 HD 6950 in crossfire

[jr69]

Hello,
i have a P6T se motherboard with a 2GB sapphire 6950 and i was looking at getting another 2GB sapphire 6950 and going crossfire but the other x16 pci-e 2.0 slot is very close and i don't know if they will fit.
anyone know if it will fix or should i start looking for a new motherboard?

The P6T SE has a lousy PCIe x16 slot spacing.

Two dual slot width SAPPHIRE HD 6950 2GB graphics cards will fit but as you've realized one of the graphics card's fan intake will be starved of intake air by the other one.

GPU water cooling is an option or a motherboard with a better slot spacing is another.

I have P6T SE with two Sapphire HD 6950 2gb cards in xfire. one of them does run hot but never above 80 celcius. tho i have a raven evolution case which has excellent cooling...
