I originally had one but managed to win one for free. There are only two PCIE slots on the mATX mobo. To reiterate, would the second card suffer too much to even make it worth SLI without swapping for waterblocks on them?

Hello, I am planning on building a new setup inside of a Corsair Air 240 with a micro ATX mobo. I already have two EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 edition for SLI, however I am afraid that because it is a mATX mobo, there is only one slot between the two PCIE slots, basically making the cards stack one on top of the other with VERY little to no room in between. My question is, will this cause the second card to heat up quickly (since they are both open air design) to the point where it is not worth it? I am currently running a mid atx build (upgrading from Sandy Bridge to the 8700k) and there are two slot spaces, which gives it enough room to breath and stay moderately warm. What do you guys think? And yes, I really want to do a micro ATX build for this next rig. Thanks!
