Hi
Have been looking around but haven't really found any major help with the problem of cooling when running SLi.
I'm running 7800GT SLi using Zalman VF700 on both, which aid the cooling of the cards greatly but as such increase ambient case temperature. As I'm running a A8N32-SLi this is playing with my mobo temps due to the passive cooling.
As my current case doesn't offer a proper front to back air flow setup (which would flow over the heatpipe), I've decided i'm getting an Antec P180. I Was tempted by the Akasa Eclipse but overall packages meant the P180, especially liking the PCI "fan funnel" feature on the P180.
So, the point of this thread really is:
Is anyone running an SLi setup in a P180, and is it any good?
Or the Eclipse?
Do people have tips for cooling an SLi setup?
What cases are you using with what setup? Does it work/not work?
Really just thinking about getting something going as I know a few people having SLi cooling problems!
Thanks
