anddd its done... and case modded to make radiator fit in front, looks titties
how? i only see 2x PCIe x16 slots. and the way they are spaced, you cant fit a 3rd GPU in there.
edit,
i see the 3rd PCIe slot now in your earlier pic. but being in the 7th slot, you cant fit a 3rd 2-slot GPU in there. it would only work if you had benching station that was open and not enclosed in a case.
pfft you only need to output from one card anywys lol

ok I think I might buy the asus rog dual bay gaming display to match my board gpus and since im not using the optical bays, ok moved the cooler to the front as a exhaust fan and lowered temps moderately , and yes I have to go to a full size atx case to go 3 way crossfire currently im on a mid size atx

also there are 2 120mm Corsair high volume fans on side panel as intake for the gpu's
Lol that display.
still wont physically fit unless he moves his PSU somewhere else.
and then he's starving the middle card for air
"full" or "mid" ATX is irrelevant.
ATX form factor specs 7 PCI expansion slots and most cases will only have 7. the way your MB is, you need an "8th" slot for a dual size card. some cases have it, some cases dont. but its not true to the ATX form factor. just be mindful of it.
