    DELL makes you purchase all those items. SLI cable, Heatsink, Fan. Etc... Also ...I don't have the link but I will try to find it. You have the ability to send alienware the parts and they will install the SLI and such properly, and this will not hurt your warranty. Doing it alone will not hurt your warranty either, but this will ensure a safe installation.

    Heatsink? I'm reading the service manual doesn't say anything about a heatsink. It mentions fan and cable but nothing bout a heatsink.

    Well yeah I'm wondering if it's a separate part or built into the card.

    Seperate part. If you order the cards, it's not going to come with the card.

    It would be an extra part number and expense so your going to order it.
