So I have the Asus P8P67 Deluxe with a GTX 580 and recently got a another GTX 580 for SLI. I know the motherboard has 3 PCI 2.0 16x Lanes with the third running at 4x. If I install the 2nd 580 next to the first then they will run at 8x/8x right? Also what if I install it on the bottom third express slot that is 4x, would that be bad? Would that make it run at 8x/4x? Would that be worth it for the better air flow betweent he two graphics card?

You should run them in the 8x/8x mode which is perfectly fine. The bottom card will run slightly warmer, but, nothing alarming.

depending on the game at x4 you can lose some fps, some games it won't matter at all.
