Dam, you guys really helped me out. I guess i never really thought of just how much heat is generated by these beast's. Right now i am thinking of getting a single Ultra, then down the road possibly getting another one ( assuming it will be worth it when the 9800 series comes out) and possibly upgrade my system to a water cooled system. Does anyone here use water cooling on a dual card setup? and if so do you notice a decent difference in heat generated from the computer?
One more question. If deciding to go with a single untra, then buying an additional ultra down the road, what MB would you guys suggest. I was looking at an Asus P6N something....cant remember the full name because at the time i was looking at crossfire boards and just glanced at it, but does anyone know if this is a good route to take? I will be running a Q6600 as well.
