i was actually looking at an open box and worried about no warranty. so, i considered the exreme 3 asrock. any thoughts in comparison between the 2? features seem to be the same.
i was going to say, my prior sli configuration ran about as hot. I think due to the fact that both cards were warming each other due to the air not being able to escape from between them.
I put exhaust fans above each to take the air out of the back of the case and voila, problem solved.
