I recently bought a 670 GTX. My wife and I both have 570s right now and I've decided to give her the 670 and SLI the two 570s in my PC rather than trying to sell my 570.

My PC specs are in my sig - from doing some calculations and reading, it appears my 750w Corsair PSU should be just about enough to run SLI on these things. I've ordered a couple of additional case fans to increase air flow also.

Anything else I should look out for - any tips/tricks/whatever? This'll be my first time doing SLI.
 
SLI is very simple to do now, but profiling on SLI is where the fun is. What games do you play? You can set one card to handle all AA, while the other handles all rendering, or you can have one do physics while the other handles the display etc.

Just keep in mind that not all games made use of SLI yet, even though it has been around for 6 years or so, its still not as widely adopted as you may think.
