Will 2 GTX 480s fit on this board with CPU Cooler?

Guys,
Just wondering can anybody tell me if 2 GTX 480s will fit on the Asus Rampage 2 Extreme Mobo with the "Prolimatech Megahalems Performance CPU Cooler with Sharkoon Silent Eagle 2000RPM 120mm Fan"?

In other words will 2 GTX480s fit on this bundle?

Any help would be great
Cheers

Yep, should fit no problem.

Would have thought the limit would be the case not the board, given this has 3 PCI-E slots

Ok Thanks setter

@ cbarker118 - I was planning on the Antec 1200 Case, so hopefully that should be adequate for the cards, mobo and cooler?

hi

i had the antec 1200, and i think you will have a space problem as the 480's are very long - you may have to take out a hard drive cage to fit those card's in - this will leave you with 6 slots for hdd

Thanks Ironside,
I have gone with the 570s, haven't arrived yet but they're on order, have you any idea if these will be o.k.?

P.S. I don't suppose that's Crysis-4-ever Ironside

This is strange as we built in Antec 1200 and Antec 902s all day and you do not have to remove any drive bays.

you do not need to remove any hard drive cages, just move the hard drives up or down. I have a Antec 1200.
