Would it be possible to SLI two 560ti's using the NZXT Kraken G10?
I am going to start off with some background first, so you guys know what your dealing with :) 
PC Specs :
i7 950 / Asus Sabertooth x58 / 12gb Ram
2 x KFA2 560 ti LTD OC [SLI]

Now as some of you may already know the SLI configuration on this board can be rather frustrating as the PCI Express lanes are spaced very close to each other :

And this has left me with my current predicament , they get hot, REALLY HOT, the top card roasts at around 90c when i play anything intensive.

Now i was wondering would it be possible to remove the Heatsinks on both GPU's, install Kraken G10's on both with an appropriate closed loop liquid cooler for each, and then reinstall them in the current space that i have?

I am all for using the G10's to lower my temperatures , however im not sure if there is enough space to fit the GPU PCB's aswell as the Kraken G10's.

you could try if the water block will fit. but i suggest you either A) get a water cooled system and water them or B) get a pci-e riser or C) get a better spaced mobo
