NO. You can NOT use the vf700 in an sli config. Only cooler that can do that well is teh silencer.

Zalman cools better and is quieter, there's no question.

Huh???

That article says

Insanetek article said:
However, for those of you wondering if it's possible to use these heatsinks in SLI mode, it will definitely work, but it will not perform as efficiently.

It looks like Insanetek had case airflow issues rather than not being able to use Zalman vf700s within an SLI setup.

They also seemed to have problems with the Thermalright V1. While I can understand how the lack of useable instructions could result in their poor results, I got incredible temps in my own setup.
