My folding farm is an msi-k9a2 and will be populated w/ four 9600gso's. They aren't long cards (shorter than the mobo itself). My cpu heatsink is an xigmatek s-1283, so I think I have cooling down. Folding only requires about 50% cpu utilization max for 4 cards in vista x64. As you can see, the cards do not move air out of the case:
I'll end up putting in a single slot card in the bottom since the heatsink will almost touch the psu and that hurts airflow too much.
I'll be doing this after Christmas, when I have a few extra bucks to spend on this stuff. Hopefully, I'll also pick up a digital camera so you guys can actually make out whats going on.
