So I have a Asus Maximus VI Formula and am considering adding a 3rd card (XFX Black OC Edition 280x)
I am looking how ever and I don't think the card will fit as the fan connector and SPDIF etc. all seem to be in the way.
Any ideas on how to get around this?
Please no comments on why I shouldn't go 3way crossfire I am aware of the scaling with a 3rd card and issues with crossfire support and stuttering etc. No hate please just love and advice.
Watercooling them comes to mind tho you would need to spend at least 1000 $ for wc supplies and a new case.
Maybe only watercool the 3rd gpu ?
Maybe there is an 280x that doesn't block out the front io connectors ?
Tough situation to be honest.Wish you luck.
you could use a PCI-e riser cable but the extra lengths of the wires could cause your crossfire to fail because of that extra length of wire can cause a delay of signals which could de-sync the crossfire setup.
