That's what I'm not too sure of...guess I'll just have to pop off the side and take a measurement. Just wondered if anyone had gone aftermarket on CF setup and had any ideas.

I've got 2 4870s in CF, reference Visiontek w/AC Twin Turbo (3 slot) on top slot and Sapphire Silent Efficiency (2slot) on the bottom. It fits okay. The fanguard of the TT is in contact with the lower cards hs screws, but it doesn't matter.
I could fit a TT on the bottom card too, but the cooler is good enough as it is. It's a matter of can your case fit it for the lower card as the TT takes 3 slots.
I really like the Twin Turbo as it is quiet and efficient, although you I had to use another heatsink for the vrm's. 4850 are not as bad I think?
Hope it helps.

How many slots did it take Moon? I was looking at the same kind of setup at one point, but it cost too much for me then. TT was 29e, T-Rad 59e + fans. I'm cheap too

@ alex...
That's a great idea! Let us know when you open it up. I'd register now, but don't think I'd be able to be a very active member as of yet (temporarily single parenting 4 kids and what-not) and wouldn't want to take up a slot when the supplies are limited. My wife gets back from Kuwait sometime around the second week of July.
@ everyone...
I need some help choosing some aftermarket VGA coolers for my 4850's. The reason that I ask here is because my #1 concern is which coolers will fit, so I figured if anyone would know which coolers can and can't fit on an Asus P45 board that this would be the place!
The S1 Rev2 is kind of a no-go for me, because I don't want to have to do anything wonky to get the crossfire cable to reach both cards...but everything else is on the table.
Price is not really an object, I just don't want to drop $100 on a couple of coolers only to find out they wont fit!
Thanks for any guidance/opinions!
If your budget allows, grab a few Zalman VF1000 coolers, they do a real good job.

I has some news to report fellow P45ers! I have been.. "experimenting", with some BIOS code, and maybe its just my system, but for the hell of it I selected the 400FSB strap to play with my memory, and to my surprise Everest results are bang on what they should be for the settings I'm using! No more slow 400 strap Latency is kinda lazy @ 63ns, but thats down to caution on my part, my TRFC is @ 60 and Clock Twister is set to Light as its 2x2GB sticks I'm using now. Just ruling a few settings out while I experiment really. Once I'm done TRFC and Clock Twister will be tightened back up.

Shameless pimp post. Is anyone looking for some cheap PC gear? I still have some stuff I'm looking to sell off for as good as peanuts just to get rid of it.

2x HD3870s 512MB £43 each inc. signed for delivery, or £72 for both.
If memory serves both have their GPUs @ 850MHz, one is GDDR3 the other GDDR4, hence one has a memory clock of 2GHz I think it is, the other 2.2GHz. I can check exact details if anyone wants. Both cards come retail boxed but only one has a CF bridge as the GDDR3 model didnt come with one. Their pretty good cards still, I could play Crysis Warhead at nice settings with one of these. Only thing to note is due to how I modded the BIOS of the GDDR3 3870, it MUST be used as the primary card.
2x1GB Cellshock PC8000 Micron D9GKX Dunno, £50 inc. signed for delivery?
Tested to work perfect at their rated 4-4-4-12 1GHz. Ran them @ 2.1v on my P5Q Pro no probs. Being Micron ICs, I do recommend a fan sitting over them, they get hot under load.
E4400 £30 inc. signed for delivery
This thing did 3.2GHz 400FSB in my old AW9D-Max, I forget at what voltage though. E4400 itself I have tested @ defaults so guaranteed not DOA, the IHS has also been lapped and the chip itself de-lidded for those who like that kind of thing. IHS is of course included for those who need it.
Alternatively, tell me what stuff you have kicking about for trades

your prices are optomistic at best mate 
I doubt anyone will pay £50 for a 2GB kit, and the 3870's just arent worth that anymore.

Erm.. do you have any idea how sought after Micron ICs are? Go ask on XS lmfao. £43 for a 3870 isn't bad either, compare that price to any other graphics card for the same money.

I got a 2GB kit of Firestix with Micron D9's for £20 . . .
Also, you regularly see 8 series nvidia cards selling for £30 now, and with ATI cards failing at folding I doubt they will be that desirable.

Their just Firestix tho, my Cellshocks were made in that magical week where people can hit 1400MHz with em, and regardless of folkind, £43 inc. signed for delivery still gives great bang for your pound vs. other stuff you can get for the same money.

So what did you achieve on the cellshocks? And personally, a £30 8800GTS 320mb kicks the shit out of a 3870, not just performance but re sale value and also folding ability.

I never really tried pushing my Cellshocks but they did boot 1300MHz with no real effort. A 88GTS might of beaten a 3870 in the beginning, but ATI sorted their drivers out some time ago, the extra frame buffer tends to give games on the 3870 a nice edge from what I've seen, especially at higher resolutions..

Thats good news, do you think you could getting working for the p5q3?I has some news to report fellow P45ers! I have been.. "experimenting", with some BIOS code, and maybe its just my system, but for the hell of it I selected the 400FSB strap to play with my memory, and to my surprise Everest results are bang on what they should be for the settings I'm using! No more slow 400 strap
When i select 400 strap the first 2 dividers work fine but the others don't, also depending which bios i run even some of my 333 strap dividers become picky.
On a side note i absolutely love my e8600
Last night i set voltage 1.20625v in bios and passed 3 hours of orthos @ 4.1Ghz before i ended it (needed sleep).
idle - 1.184v
load - 1.192/1.2v
Tried 4.2Ghz and it failed in under a minute, so i've upped the voltage 1 notch and so far so good (4 mins in).

Cool man, if you could that would be sweet.I could poke around with the P5Q3.. but right now I'm far too hung over
Nice, i'm getting slightly higher temps, not sure if the sensors are a bit off or i need to reseat my waterblock or rearrange the loop but my 8500 ran way cooler than this.
Is yours lapped and have you played around with the pll voltage at all?
So far at 4.2ghz i've had to increase vcore 4 steps to 1.23125v, but i still need to test.

I do have the pll voltage set,i can have a look what its set to if you like,it is indeed lapped.The vid on mine is 1.2v so a 1ghz oc for a .1v increase is lovely and not enough to damage the proc.Try 430fsbX10 at 1.3v.,your temps should still be fine,and its not really a high vcore for 24/7 on these.
