Hey everyone,
So I want to crossfire my 5770 card on my MSI 890GXM-G65 motherboard. Its of course a micro board and the 5770s like most cards these days take up double spots and are generally big. I was wondering if people have crossfired big cards like these on micro boards or how much space is between their cards when they are crossfired on a regular board. It's looking like the two cards will have like a mm of space between them when both on the board will this be an issue for cooling?
I have a 620w psu right now (im gonna toss that) and probably grab a 850W psu so I have some left over to add a 5th HDD as well. My Processor is liquid cooled so there shouldn't be that much extra heat in the case. As for other fans, I have an induct fan on the side panel which comes basically directly over the GPU, 2 fans pulling in on the front, 2 exhaust fans (push/pull) on the liquid cooling and a large exhaust fan on the top.
Any suggestions/concerns?
Thanks!
