Sifus.. I need to ask something on my friends behalf. He is planning to SLI but afraid about the temp problem for Dual card configuration. My friend is planning on to SLI GTX 285.

So, I understand the fact that Nvidia runs cooler than ATI cards, but I don't have any idea about the temp for the SLI configuration.

1) What is the normal load temp for 2 GTX 285s?

2) Is it necessary to fix both cards with third party cooler?

3) My friend is using DFI LP X58 mobo. let say that he fix both card with 3rd party cooler and due to the space problem he fix the 1st card in the 1st slot, and the second card on the 3rd slot. (I'm not sure whether the 2nd card can be fixed in the 2nd slot or not)Is it possible to connect the SLI bridge with such distance between those cards?

So, can anybody help me figure out this problem.

1) I think it'll be in a quite a distance. So problem one solved.
2) Yes, my friend is planning to OC his cards.
3) Is there any long SLI bridge available. Do you know anybody selling it. Please let me know. Thanks~
