Clever combo. I've been thinking of getting another 5830 but I'm worried about microstutter and other issues. Mind you if I do get microstutter in some games, it'll only be effectively the same framerate as a single 5830, which in most games manages OK for me.

get a corsair h50, that will complement the quietness of the case beautifully.
Or listen to other members/reviews and get a decent air cooler instead...

surely the ud7 has a slot design where you don't have to sandwich dual slot cards together?
My Pc now finished after going through 4 460gtx cards and having memory issues, still need to tidy up the cabling a bit...

When I just flicked down the page then, I thought you had a massive spider hanging off the back of your case...Then I realised it was actually just some wires
