SLI related question.

[jelledefries]

Hello,

I have the Asus Z77 Sabertooth motherboard and a single Asus gtx 680 TOP running on it, this is a 3 slots card and i want to know if a second 680 TOP would fit on the motherboard because they would be almost touching each other, my main concern is cooling .... Is this ok or will the cards overheat ?

SLI/Crossfire always comes at the cost of temperature. Generally your top card temps will rise significantly, Your bottom card a little. As long as your case has good airflow it is unlikely your Graphics card will overheat. especially with that cooler on it.

Ok, thanks I think I'll be fine then :)

Luckily the cards won't be sandwiched together as the placement of the PCIE slot is a but further away from each other.

You want 2x Asus GTX 680 TOP's? Someones got a bit cash.. haha. Temp wise your cards should be fine, as was mentioned, the top of the 2 will have a rise in temps, but not dangerously so. One solution, is to setup individual fan profiles, ie at the expense of silence, you can make the fans spin faster, generating more airflow and hopefully keeping relatively nice temps.
