ASUS gtx 580 directcu ii and what for SLI

[oozish]

Should I stick with another ASUS card to keep the temps down to do SLI or go with a different brand. Considering I'll have to sell both eventually it may not matter to match brands.

What I like about doing 2 of the direct cuii cards is that they run so cool, SLI won't turn my pc into a heat storm. Currently idles at 35C, doesn't go over 62C playing bfbc2 with 16QCSAA maxxed. so nice!

Probably going to order another card in time for bf3.

if you've got the space, I would just order another DCUII....that's what I plan on doing

Does anyone have 2 direc cu ii"s in SLI? Mine will be right next to each other in a tight fit. I think temps will be ok as the cooling is amazing but it would be great to hear from someone who has these in SLI already-- I need temp info.

Also, any problems with micro stutter with these cards ? From what I gather this shouldn't be an issue with SLI 580's because frames should be above 60fps on virtually any present or imminent release game(s).
