Question: SLI Hero VII 780ti Reference or not?

[KhaosTheory]

Hey guys,

since my browser crashed last time i wrote this and it's lost I'll make it shorter

 

So I am planning a new PC and I am going to get a z97 Hero from Asus. I also want to go 780ti SLI. My question is if it's better in terms of heat to go for 780ti MSI twinfrzr or EVGA SC reference cooler.

I am a bit concerned about the noise levels but I dont care about a little bit of noise (never had a direct comparison between the two).

 

I hope you can help me with my first world problems

Good question actually. On one hand the MSI are far better. On the other the bottom card would be expelling heat outside the case rather than onto the second card.

Yep, you got my point. And I dont want to go 1 msi 1 evga or sth like that.

it depend on your casing

 

if you casing has poor airflow

 

then it make sense to use the reference design

 

but you got a huge case, the non reference will be the better option

So you basically say if the gpu's are like 5 mm apart with a big tower say cosmos ii whatever it doesn't matter?

do they need to be so close?

 

nvm

 

 

 

you will be fine with non reference ones

 

just make sure you have air flow from front to rear

Okay, I was going to give the GPUs an additional intake from the side.
