480gtx sli 74oc on water high ?

[avatar12m]

room ambient temp 28oc, was playing deus ex for like most of sunday afternoon, the max temp reported was 74oc does this seem high ? was wondering what you would expect it to be.

in the loop 2 480 gtx i7 2600k all stock , all ek blocks triple rad and a liang ddc-1 pump.

not 100% sure on the rad i've had it a while but was pretty cheap looking at the newer ones, i think its classed as a slim one ( bit thicker than the fan ) cost about £40-£50 about 3 years ago


same as this but no shroud

thanks for the replies, i have a cosmos rc case the big mesh vente one, triple rad is at the top pulling in with a shroud between it and the case, front fan pulling in bottom fan pulling out.

with our recommendations etc i think i might ( when can be arsed to split the loop ) get a nice thick rad but will have to remove the shroud.

what iyo is the best performance/price watercooled size case you can get with good venting and enough room to fit all the kit inside ?

thanks
