Default Question

Hi guys im putting a new rig together. I got the asus p5q pro. Im not doing cf yet, but i plan on in the future. I have one sapphire 4830 right now. I realized if i do cf the second gpu will be right on top of my sound blaster audigy card. Is that a good thing. There really isnt that much space and the fan will be blowing right into the back of my sb card.

Hitting 3.8 was easy, getting a stable 4.0 ghz, that will be a challenge!

Yeah, the Audigy is low profile enough to where the fan should be able to clear it, unless it has some funky fan placement.
