Yeah I know. I need to get a better Heatsink, or maybe get some fans on my Video Card's if it's possible with SLI.

of course its possible, all high end video cards come with heat sink and a fan of some sort, and they make sure there's enough clearance for SLI, you just can't use the 7800GTX's or the 512mb ATI versions in SLI because they are the size of 2 regular cards.

Im using Dual SLI 6800 GTX's, there's enough clearence for a fan or two in there. Really do need it too, the first day I got this Custom, I had neon lights in it, they melted Roflmao.
