No SLI bridge and a DVI to VGA adapter? Nice one!

I was just more shocked by all the 4-way SLI comments, but zero of the pictures have a bridge connected and the system is turned on as the CPU fan is spinning and lighted up ;)

I wonder how long the central cards will survive given the 4xx series heat efficiency.

I would like to see the numbers inside a PC case of thermal probes between every 2 cards. :snakeman:

well the cards get all their air from the end of the pcb so as long as nothing gets in the way of it, the temps would be fairly close i'd think

In our part of the SF peninsula we're colder in summer than Denver in winter.
