Hey guys just wondering what you would do?


I have two sapphire 280x in cross fire, a toxic and a tri-x that overclocked to toxic spec.

These cards run extremely hot and i've had to remove the side panal and now it's deathly noisy, my pc is next to the monitor so it's bad.


haaaaaalp
 
I had the HIS HD 7950 ICEQ in crossfire and even tho it was a blower type cooler the top card would reach 87 - 89c when gaming. Can you give a bit of your spec such as case, motherboard etc?
 
Yeh they get very hot in crossfire. Only real solution is watercool them. Aio coolers work.

You could try so better intake exhaust fans on ur pc but probably wont make much difference unless u dont have any fanc
 
PCI slot fan could be a quick and easy solution if you have room and half decent case airflow.

Going water is expensive but you will never have to worry about temps or noise again :cool:
