All in all great cooler for the money and has always worked reliably. Excellent for a backup cooling system or for low-cost budget computers, while still being able to overclock.

It would be better answered if you update your sig rig with what kind of PSU you are running.
A crappy 580wt may only reliably deliver 400-450wt, whereas a quality 580 may deliver up to 650 or more if needed.

The LE board does not support proper CFX, you'll be limited to 4x on the secondary card.
Get a Pro version.

As I just posted in another thread, 16x-4x results in a loss of about 5% on the 2nd card.
It's in no way worth buying a new mobo for, unless you are just really anal about getting the absolute most performance possible.

Well the MSI P67A-GD55 is only £20 more and has 2 16x PCI-E slots which would be nice and i hear its a nice overclocker!

I may be wrong, but according to these specs, that board is actually running one of the PCIe lanes @ 8x.
http://www.thinkcomputers.org/msi-p6...oard-review/2/
Edit: I just dl's the manual for the GD55, and it states directly that the 2nd PCIe slot is indeed an 8x.

I can tell you from firsthand experience that the 4x slot is a handicap when running cfx.
Granted that most of the time without an fps counter you wouldn't notice.
I'll use BC2 as an example, I experienced many noticeable slowdowns at 16x/4x, 8x/8x exhibited no such slowdowns.
The 4x card is always 10-20% bottlenecked.
