Crossfire gfx cards with a sound card?

D2/X is known for getting a little on warm side.

D1/X might fare better, but I can't be certain that it wont escape being baked to death
 
Got a DX installed above 2 x gtx 470's, which are pretty hot running cards, never had any issues with the sound card due to heat, as the cards exhaust out through the pci brackets.

Have a p6 x58de in my second machine, you could fit the card in the top pcie slot as on my p6t dlx v2.
 
Nice one. Bought the D2X, hope I wasn't too badly cheated :(

Not completely off topic as OP is still considering buying the DX, but can I ask either what speakers or headphones you used to compared the soundcards? Thanks

Yeah I mostly use my headphones as well (Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro). I take it you tried out a few games? And do you happen to know if the DX runs any cooler than the D2X? If I do go Crossfire, I'll have to have my D2X in between both cards unfortunately..
