I am thinking of doing my build in an mATX enclosure. My question is which style cooler is better for my enclosure? The case is the Phanteks Evolv so it has good airflow options at the front, back, top and bottom but will that be sufficient? Also, which style is better for SLI? I am looking at the 970 fyi.

Thanks in advance

P.S. If you have a better case suggestion please tell me, I am already looking at the Bitfenix Phenom and the cases from Fractal.

I'd go for the Gigabyte GTX 970 Windforce.

 

Take a look at the corsair air 540, I absolutely love that case :P

Non-blower can still be used for SLI, I'd just recommend a 1 slot gap between that cards, though I'd suggest that for any dual SLI configuration.
