Go on the image in your link, then right click on it, and go to "Copy Image URL"

Then click on the little portrait with the mountains on the toolbar and paste it in there

There's no free (legal) software to read Blu-Ray discs so you'll want a retail one which comes with software unless you've got some already.

the asus 580 is triple slot cooler so if you go sli in future it'll restrict airflow.

yes i know its a tripple slot i doubt i will go sli but not sure the only reason ive gone for the asus one is that ive read some very good reviews on them and it says its very quiet and keeps the card very cool is there another one you would recomend that is very quiet and very good temps?

i got in just in case i did go sli didnt really want to fork out money for a lower one and then think ill go sli in 12 months time and not have enough juice at least that always gives me the option plus it was on a good deal at the time

just looked at the asus sabertooth board and just thought its got tri sli so even if i did go for the asus directcu II and then go sli later i could put the second in the 3rd slot could i?

as looking at this there would be a gap between them where another slot is

fowler002 · 25 Dec 2011 at 00:04

well you could put the asus in the 2nd pci-e x16 slot and get a 2 slot cooler 580 in the future and have it in the top pci-x16 slot.
