Stock 780 should go in the top slot.

And your question is?

Stock 780 should go in the top slot.

 

I wouldn't be so sure... because it would mean the stock 780 would become quite loud...

I have 2 GTX 680s (Lightning) in SLI, and the top one is quite a lot hotter, sometime being 10Celcius more than the one on the bottom, so I think the one with the highest dissipation capabilities should be on top in order to reduce the noise output of the other...

 

I don't know if my reasoning makes sense, but I would go that way for the reasons explained above

It doesn't. Open air cards need more circulation than a blower design.

With the top card working harder I would put the triple fan up top to keep the cards running around the same temp. Should have plenty of space mobo wise, could also depend on the case.

Okay, thanks for the heads up
