my question is that curently i have an SLI system with q6600 @ 3ghz cpu installed in it.curently idle temps for my 2 x 8800 GTX are 57C & 60C and it can go to 80C & 82C in heavy gaming like crysis..both fans on 8800GTX cards are on 100% speed and my case have five 120mm fans.my cpu q6600@3ghz idle temp is 35C and it can go to 45C under heavy load!!! my question is that what will be my idle temps of my gpus if i put third 8800GTX to my system to make it tri SLI????
i mean what will be the idle temps of all three cards and load temps !!! my system is not watercooled all is on AIR!!! i am living in germany and you know its too cold out here and my room temps are little hot but when i open my rooms window so the 8800 gtx temps drops 50C % 54C respectively of both graphic cards in idle state because when i open my window cool air comes inside and cpu temps goes down from 35C to 28C in idle :)so my question..........!
if i add 3rd 8800gtx to my system to make TRI SLI what idle and load temps i shall expect from my all three gpu and qq660@ 3GHZ all on air..??? my system specs are:--

q6600 overclocked @ 3GHz 1.256V
cpu fan:- cnps9700
2 x XFX 8800 gtx overclocked @ 630/1000
4 GB OCZ DDR2 SLI Ram @ 900 2.15V
1 x DVD RW
1 x floppy drive
1 x 320 GB Sata western digital hard disk
corsair TX-850 PSU

HIGH!!!!!!!!

Or something.

The only thing to watch out for is whether or not you have enough clearance among the cards to prevent airflow problems. IE you don't want one pulling nothing but hot air from another for cooling purposes - that just doesn't work well. Especially if the middle card cannot get good airflow, then it will cook between the other two.
