Board that will do SLI'd 470's with aftermarket coolers

[Michaeljcox24]

I have the VF3000F on my 470 and would like to upgrade to a sandy rig. Are there any boards out there that would allow SLI with 2 x 470's that have aftermarket coolers on them, and still have a decent gap between the two? I realise I would probably need new case.

With the vf3000 coolers it makes it 3 slot if i remember right? Easiest way would be to get an MSI Big Bang Marshal (8 pci-e slots + you will get x16 on both cards unlike most 1155 mobos that give x8 to both cards with 2 cards present) and just run the gpu's in slot 1 and slot 4 or 5 depending on the case you end up with.

Cheers mate, had a look at the board, very nice, time to start saving for that and a Haf-X me thinks.
