Felix...it's fine...I will check the ram fan and I'll look again at routing the gfx card cables out of the nearest holes...so cheers. I just found some of the things funny and a bit ott

BTW...if you look closely you'll see that two of the cards already have the modular cables

The power for the 3 cards is bunched into one thick cable so offers less areas to turbulence. There is some method to my madness

@ quakermaas & trogalicious

lol...I thought something like that would transpire lol [thumbsup]

Like I said in an earlier response...I'll never over bend wires just to get a look. It can stress to many things.

But I'm cool with getting a tad tidier

yes, I know that you used 2 modular cables. but since you said that you are afraid that the back panel will bulb, you should use the thick non modular cables for the bottom one and route them directly to the psu. then use the 2 thin ones to route them through the 2 separate holes. it will fit 100%. it will look much better

Well, I decided to take advantage of EVGA's step-up and trade in two of my 285 2GBs and get two 295 co-ops.

The advantage for me is less heat in the gfx sandwich and also when I go WC I can get a block for these easier. There's already Koolance and EK blocks out now. It'll be expensive so it's going to be a slow phase 2. But I have the EK classified block now so it's all systems go (well, moving forward ).

I'm gonna need a new case already and the HAF is butt ugly so I'm waiting on the new Corsair one. It looks the business and will accommodate my WC setup perfectly.

So far quick tests on the Quad SLI (stock) show similar results in Vantage but big improvements in 3DMark06. The Crysis benchmark scored exactly 4fps less for 0xAA, 2xAA, 4xAA & 8xAA than the 285 tri sli did!

Time to tweak the 295's clocks
