I had been considering putting my 1080Ti's in SLI, but after looking at the power draw for one 1080ti (the worst I've seen is about 340.1 Watts peak GPU power draw in HWiNFO64 at 2000Mhz. core clock) I've realized even if I could power two 1080Ti's with my Seasonic Focus GM-850 and my overclocked 9700K (5.1Ghz.) the heat output would just about melt my case which already can barely handle one overclocked 1080Ti (the motherboard temp. goes up to 37°C under the game that draws the most power [Dying Light]).
So how did anyone manage to keep the hotter running GPU's running in SLI without getting massive throttlling or lock-ups due to heat? Was watercooling the GPU's the only way it could realistically be done?
