Sapphire HD 7870 Crossfire

[pauLAW]

Hey Guys

I put together the build below at the beginning of the month and I was thinking about getting another Sapphire HD 7870 to sit in crossfire.

Has anyone else done this? If so how does it run?

If you are planning to OC that IB cpu, I would get something a bit more powerful than the H60... it is good, but IB puts out a lot of heat when overclocked... its a bit of a problem for intel at the moment. i would opt for the h100 if you can afford it and it should fit in that case at the top fine...

as too the CF question... erm... get a single card that will reduce the heat in your system, reduce driver problems, less things can go wrong with just one card...

Get a 680 or at least a 670...
