Massive MOBO, will it work
hi there!
i want to have dual crossfire of two Hd 6970's, but i want it to be quiet and cool, so i'm going to put an 'arctic cooling accelero extreme plus' on each. but then the graphics cards would take up 3 slots each! and i still want a wireless card and eventually a sound card (not on the spec). i think this is the largest MOBO available, but i am not certain.
The question i really want to know is... Will it work?

To start with that case you have chosen only has 7 slots at the back and with where you GPU's will be plugged in this i am pretty sure will not leave you any room to plug anything else in or maybe 1 of the extras you wnat in the middle so you might do slightly better trying the HAFX full tower this has 9 slots at the back so is more flexible, you could also try adding a sound and wireless card to the build on the main site and clicking proceed and see what you get back.

yeah i see now, so i've got more slots on the full tower case, unfortunately i had to remove the memory card reader
oh well. it says it's compatible with 8 slots being taken up, but i don't know if it will work in the configuration i want, i need at least 3 spaces between each pci-e x16 for the graphics cards, with coolers, to fit on plus a pci-e wireless card and a pci sound card... i don't know how it would all be placed on the board. :S

I'm pretty sure you can call them up and ask them to configure it in a certain way
