Question about 570 SLI

[dart06]

I am going to have two EVGA GTX 570 2.5GBs running in SLI in a Rosewill Blackhawk case.

I have a lot of airflow with two intake fans in the front, one on the bottom, and 3-4 exhaust fans, two on top, one on the side, and one on the back. Will that be enough airflow to have them in SLI? I will not be overclocking them (as I hear 2.5GB 570s don't overclock very well). Thanks for the help!

Also, this is the board I have.

Am I right in thinking that I will have more space and that the cards will not be right on top of each other like some mobos? That question being answered will also help a lot. Thanks for the reply bigmack!

These are the 570s I will have for SLI. Only ones in 2.5GB form.

Thanks again for your help bigmack!

I looked at them as an option, but I've had one 570 2.5GB for a little while. Two of those 7950s would give awesome performance for the price though.

I also don't prefer CFX as much. People seem to have better results as a whole going with SLI.

It is great advice and would honestly probably go that route if I didn't already have one 570 so no worries.

I'll also keep that side fan advice handy. I might just make it an intake anyway since it really makes more sense.

Thank you!

Yeah I'm pretty excited for it to arrive.

I didn't have an SLI bridge so I bought the longer version of it to make sure it was long enough.

Seriously, thanks again!

There was someone in the forums yesterday who posted 3DMark 11 and Unigine 2.5 benches for 3-way 570's. Said they were running 65C with hard gaming. Didn't mention fans or case.
