Hello guys! I am very happy to tell you that I have finally plugged in my third gtx580 3gb via flexible extender for PCI Express X16
YES! It DOES work!!! All stress tests done. Performance in octane rendering speed is over 30% as I expected. So I am really happy. My goal was avoid water in my system, and I did it!. You can see I am not actually spruce moder or kind of that. All I need is under 85C gpu temp with 100% gpu load. So now my gtx580s are not so close to each otherand I got 81-84C (while 30-35C in the room).

Wow! this is a pretty cool setup!
No kidding! i could not work like this, but i find it cool.

i guess you did some research on PCIe-extenders. Which ones are you using?
I´ve been looking around but was not happy with the result...

OK now a picture of the extender - was it the one with an extra power supply plug, I bought the cheaper ones not really happy with those - they tend to break, and not sure if it will work on 590 gtx..
