GTX 560-TI SLI in Antec 900?

[mm23]

I underestimated the size of the two MSI GTX 560-TIs I wanted to put in an Antec 900 case. They're practically flush with each other, and the lower card is close to the PSU:



Am I right in thinking that's too close for proper cooling? If so, any recommendations for a larger case would be appreciated.

it will reduce available air for the 2nd 560 and PSU. I dont know if it's too much. Can you have the PSU the other way round as that would be better if you clean the dust filter

Noticed this post and want to know if you've got this setup working yet?

I'm thinking of running two of these together myself and wonder how they perform together.

I use a CoolerMaster Storm Sniper case for my main rig and it's huge.

I just put it together yesterday, but haven't had the time to test it. I'll let you know. (Almost bought the Storm Sniper myself.)

From what I can see it does not look like you can flip the PSU over to pull in fresh air so you are kind of stuck that way. On the good though it seems that it will be OK with the two intake fans on the front blowing in fresh air in and maybe an exhaust fan on the side panel to get rid of the heat. Other than that I would say go for it.

And also the Twin Frozr design is pretty cool running. So you might be ok.

I have the first one of those cards set to be delivered today. I tried out a MSI N430GT with the twin Frozr recently and it's a good design. It turned out to be a fairly decent gamer for a low priced card too. Hence, the GTX-560 on the way.

MM23, you'll like that GSKill Ripjaws RAM I see in your photo too. That's all I use here.

Should be fine, IMO. Test some temps and see what you get...but like Tortuga said: the Twin Frozr runs pretty cool anyway.
