580 gtx gigabyte overclock series in SLI?

[cheebamaster]

I just ordered 2x 580gtx Gigabyte super overclock series and plan to run them in SLI. The problem that I seem to be reading is that the "WindForce 3X" fans tends to dump heat everywhere. Since my cards will be right next to each other with this cause massive heating issues and should I have just gone with 2 of the reference cards?

Thanks!

Unless your case has a lot of space and good airflow I wouldn't recommend SLIing GTX 580s at all. If it does though then I doubt what you are talking about will be too much of an issue.

Using HAF 932 case

Currently have 2x 5870's in there with no issues

I have 2 Gtx580 super overclocked cards on a gigabyte z68 udh3-b3 mobo all stacked in a antec 600 with no heat problems. I can ramp them both up and it still stays nice and chilly.
