I'm reading everywhere on the web that because these babies are getting so hot so quickly, nvidia does not advise to stack them without leaving a 2 slot space between each card...
And they are talking about SLI setups (2, 3 cards) , but 7 ! How is the rig holding up?
The temperature is not that huge, if you care about air flows of box.
The system that ericNV is using is a little different then yours Yoo. I am curious too about the cooling and airflow in that case. I know coolermaster? made a case that fits 4 gtx480's that was especially designed with a front airduct to bring in air to the cards directly. The big one that EVGA keeps bragging about, that broke all the benchmark records, used liquid nitrogen (crazy people). I am not saying that I think your rig will blow up in a ball of fire. Just curious how much heat it will produce and how well it cools. Mainly because I might see if my work will invest in something along these lines.
System 1: EVGA gtx470 1280Mb and MSI gtx470 1280 in Cubix Xpander for Octane, AMD 945, 4Gb Ram
All systems are at stock speeds and settings.

Basically GPUs has its own heat sink system, so if you care the air flow of the PC case, what ever it would be, you can keep GPUs cool.
