    Question PCI Slot Covers with vents. Help Please!

    Anybody know where I could get some PCI Slot Covers that have vents in them?
    Like the ones the Antec Nine Hundred comes with:


    I can't find them anywhere

    Why not just remove the empty slot covers? If that's what you need, better vents.

    There was a thread around here with single-slot backplates for... i think it was 8800s using a cooler that didn't vent out the back. You could use one of those as a vent... but I don't see why, you could drill holes/cut slots etc. in normal PCI slot covers, or just leave them off.

    These are for Lian Li cases, and I am not sure if they will fit your case.

    Why put a cover on? Even one with full width holes will be more restrictive than no cover. If you are lucky you can even fit an 80MM exhaust fan between the video card(s) and the sound card or w/e.

    Ok, well thanks guys!!
    I'll probably just end up cutting holes through my current slot covers.

    Yea it works great. Pulls the video card's heat right out of the case. When I had a 7950GT a 80mm Sunon on the slot covers right below it dropped load temps by 8C.

    Same item as the ones from silverPC, which ever is better for you in terms of shipping cost.
