Beasty, have you tried getting a x16 pcie extension and mounting the 2nd card somewhere else?

Looking to upgrade my GTX 780. I'm sure it will fit in my 540 case but not sure about my motherboard. Due to it's size would it be fine on a Maxumus V Gene MB?
Already thought about it, there's room in my case but then I'm not sure the extension will fit if I'm still using the brackets on the back of the case due to obstacles on the motherboard. I'd then need to think about extending my sli bridge due to not being able to find one longer than 12cm. To be honest, for the price I may just order a powered extension anyway and give myself another option.

I've seen people mount the 2nd gpu at an angle as well, using a flex sli bridge .. Anything just to open up that gap a little
You can twist the pcie extension so you end up with the 2nd card upside down, and that might change what obstacles you have, for better or worse

I've ordered one anyway so I'll just see how I get on with temps once I get the front 3 intakes going and maybe 1 more at the end of the 2 cards. If I need to pull them apart and use the extension I will, I'll just need to get the soldering iron out and join a couple of sli bridges.

This ticks all the boxes. Where's the buy button? Heh

At the moment I have 2 x 7850 in crossfire....which is OK but I guess there's better. These 980TI's have caught my eye, never spent so much on a card before, £200 tops but hey, if splashing out....
I like the look of the Zotac ones....the AMP Extreme seems to be the most popular and is on offer this week. Is it worth the extra £70 over the normal one or are most people just overclocking them?

Just received my MSI 6G. So glad I RMA'd the Gigabyte G1.
Absolutely no coil whine, and even with an aggressive fan curve pushing 80% @ 60C the noise is much less than the G1, much less.
Very pleased. I've taken quite a few screen shots during my testing over the past while, so I'll try to find time to post details to help others who are trying to choose their next card.

You don't mention which card you are looking at. But as long as the card fits your case then the motherboard isn't going to be an issue.
If you look carefully you'll always find people complaining about something.
That said, MSI quality control seems top notch!
Roll of Honor please mate
cheers
edit. just put todays date as i just had it delivered
What seems to be the main issue with them being returned?
'GPU Whine'
Coil whine you mean?
