OK. Here is my story. I have a Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI, 2x6800GT's, Creative Audigy2, and a Belkin Pre-N card.

My delima The bottom 6800 GT is a bit on the warm side due to the sound card right below it. There no other slots to move the sound and network cards to and I realy don't want to use onboard sound. Is there HS and fan combo that will work better than the stock one on my XFX card. It can not be a 2 slot cooler but I do have room at the top of the card if there is a heat pipe type cooler. Thank you for your time. Take care all.

Crap! I am looking around and I am seeing that the V-1 won't work with SLI due to the top fan. Any other ideas????

Zalman has some nice fan-type coolers, I just finished the review on a radial sink graphics cooler from them, you'll see it later this week at SysOpt.

Thanks Crash and wusy. I talked to Thermalright and they said that the HS would be too high on the top side for SLI. So, I am excieted to the HS that you are talking about Crash. Hey is there any type of adapter that I could put my PCMCIA network card in and connect it to my USB? That way I could move my sound card down and pull out the network card. Here is my card.

Wusy is right, the fan I suggested takes two slots, sorry.

hehe.. Thanks but Naaa.. I would go to on board sound before I do that.. I can't belive I am the only one that is using SLI that the bottom GPU is running warm. Thanks again for your time..
