Can you explaion the "Sure you're not going to run 1080ti's" statement? why not? I have 1080tis in all my rigs right now, and was planning to put 8 in this one. OEMs regularly stack blower cards right next to each other and they work fine..thats what I was planning here?
It was based on my experience running 1060s on riserless boards. I need 4 extra 120mm fans to keep them under 70˚C (it's summer here) and assumed 1080tis with side mounted fans would be even more tightly spaced and harder to cool.
Keen to hear any actual tests though. I should be less lazy and switch some cards around. But we all know *that* one riser will play up because it was looked at wrong = more downtime than planned.
I have never tried blower cards on any rigs, they may be ok with tight spacing?
