uses the temperature difference between the inside and outside of chassis and spreads out the surplus
heat efficiently, creating natural system convection. When using Silent Pipe II graphics cards to set up
an SLI configuration, please do close your system chassis in order to achieve optimal thermal
performance. For more information about the hardware configuration of an SLI system, please refer to
motherboard user manual.
