Hi all,
I'm still rocking an old system as you can see from my sig. I do have a question for those in the know when it comes to running GTX580 in 2 x SLI
I have recently acquired an EVGA GTX580 (Part #: 015-P3-1580-AR) for a reasonable price
For now I'm going to use that card along with my existing XFX 9800 GTX+ dedicated to physx
If I can find a 2nd GTX580 on the cheap then I'd like to run them in SLI.
Would I be able to do this safely on my existing Asus P5WDG2 motherboard without being too concerned about the lack of space between the two cards?
I have read multiple reports on these running very hot so I don't want to run the risk of cooking one from the radiant heat generated by the other.
Thanks for your time / comments.
