Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Crossfire / SLI card spacing...

[brad_whitwell]

Hi,

Looking to get a UD3R on an upgrade I'm planning and I've heard rumors that the PCIe spacing on this board is closer together than standard? I'm concerned about GPU temps if the cards are too close together...

Anyone here have first hand experience with SLI / Crossfire on this board?

Looking to put 2 x 5850's on one. Would be kind of annoying if I find out after the fact that the thing overheats!!

Oh, nuts...

Looks like I'll have to wait until someone actually tries this I guess

The plan was to get one card now with the upgrade option later on...

I doubt OC would accept returns cause it wouldn't fit....

Thanks for the reply I guess the only way to know is to try...

/fingers crossed
