Cooling Dilemma

Has anyone experienced any cooling problems associated with the A8N32 SLI, (2) 7800GTX 512MB and the X-Fi Fatal1ty? As you know the BFG-7800GTX-512?s are double slot video cards and the A8N32-SLI MB has two PCI-E X16 slots and three PCI slots. Using the two BFG-7800GTX-512?s in the SLI configuration concerns me because the only available PCI slot for the sound card is directly in-between the two video cards. I haven?t been able to obtain any information about the X-FI as to the amount of heat it will produce. I have contacted both the Motherboard and the Video card technical support centers and receive conflicting answers.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
