Can i fit a Thermalright HR-05 IFX SLI on my southbridge between my 2 8800gtx cards?

Yeah, i was thinking bout bending those pipes a little.

But this guy seems to have done it in the same thread:

Absolutely incorrect... the MCP is the southbridge. Check under BIOS and you'll find out that it DOES get blazing hot.

Also your 680i southbridge HR-05 mounts different than I had mine. I had two HR-05 SLIs on my 680i, and fit SLI 8800GTX also. Just couldn't fit an XFI along with them.

Think i've seen a similar set up but with the HR-05 SLI more square on to the cards meaning clearance isn't an issue.

I'll go and try to find a pic.

Incidentally, i used to have an EVGA 680i and can confirm that the southbridge get's rediculously hot.

Hmm yes. perhaps rotating the base a little more square would solve it, as long as the pipes dont get in the way of the mounting clip
