You just need to make sure that you can find some free space bihind the motherbord for the second cooler and you are forced to cut a hole in the botem of the box in that plase...

PS, I use a tower model case and I dont know if it works as good in a desktop case...

If you still have questions please let me know

I have a Asus A8N-SLI DELUXE card and I think the chipset is greate but it came with this tiny fan that was wery noisy so thats why I replased it with this heatpipe solution. There is now a version of this card available with heatpipe already on it, but I heard somewhere that there is still problew with heat on that card. So basicaly what I'm trying to say is that the chipset is great but it realy has heat isues in some setups.

btw, how is the tests coming along?
