Thank you for the answers! I was looking at the TURBO cards, and they would actually fit really well with my theme, so I will be using those. That fan SLI bridge is a smart idea, may DIY something like that.

I am planning a build, running two 1080s in SLI on a m-atx board. The problem is, I'm planning on using the Define Mini C. With that case, the two configs for SLI I can have are having no slot inbetween them, so the fans would have no room to breathe, or having 1 slot inbetween but the bottom...

running at a steady 40C, i feel really stupid now lol
