After realizing 2 5770s can perform in between a 5850 and a 5870 (closer to the 5870) and sometimes beating a 5870 with a little o'c action i wanna buy another one.

Current 5770

now to the main question:
Should i go with the vapors, egg shell/tear drop (the one in the above link) or the enclosed one?

I originally bought the egg cooler one because i have a 230mm fan blowing right on it and the hs is exposed so it keeps it nice and cool.
With the xfire im thinking two egg shells are gonna have alot of heat build up since they don't really exhaust.
the enclosed could exhaust out the back and the vapors are like the egg just a better hs.

which out of those 4 would be the best for xfire? and how would you put them, egg on top enclosed on bottom/ egg on bottom vapors on top etc...

I like the design of the MSI Hawk 5770. I don't know how well the cooler works, but it looks like its good. I was planning to go crossfire in the future and was looking at getting two of these and selling my powercolor. It has twin pwm fans and 3 heat pipes.

If Fermi isn't in my price range, then I'll be getting one of those, possibly 2.
