Okay, i know that there are now Quad SLI GFX cards...how in the world do they fit 4 graphics cards on one mobo? Any pci slot room? How would you cool 4 gpu cores and a cpu core besides just using air...which air would eventually just get too hot with all those cores....i wouldn't think there would be any way to water cool 4 gpus and a cpu...no room...?
No room for watercooling probably...unless you get a very low profile block...but they won't be much larger than the 7900GTX, because they're dual slot cards...2 cards in one. Should be just like having 2 7900GTX cards in SLI.
I think that's basically it anyways...I dono for sure.
It is done with 2 cards ...both having 2 gpu cores on them. The cards are about as thick as a card with an aftermarket cooler on it. You will lose the first and mabye second slots under the bottom pci-e slot.
I thought you would have to use pelts to cool 4...thats alot to cool just using water...even if you used splitters for all 4 lines...would still be alot for just one water cooling setup
Pelt's would be to big since you need a lot of insulation for pelts, plus they run on 90nm, which doesnt run as hot as the 110nm they were using on the G70
you need REALLY good air cooling, and i believe theres only 1 mobo out that can do quad sli, and its dell
.
there have been boards out for awhile that support quad sli, and i'm not talkin about that gigabyte quad royal thing.... theres the asus a8n32, and the msi k8n dimond plus, and the abit an8 32x
