    Yeah, one little problem with this thermalright HS, it's a full inch higher than the stock HS. This means that there is insufficient clearance between the 92mm fan and the back of your outmost gtx280 when doing SLI. This means it doesn't work with an SLI setup, so it's good only for single card. But if doing single card, you can just remove the stock plastic shroud with it's integrated fan and mount a 120mm fan against the stock HS saving yourself the expense of a the thermalright cooler. This works reasonably well since the prob with the stock design is purely with the tiny buzz bomb fan, not with the HS.
