As you can see, this is pretty much the only place where you can mount them. The only other PCIe is too close to the GPU.

Does anyone has a cooling suggestions (apart of water cooling obviously) ?

Something like this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...7&subcat=399&name=Akasa System Exhaust Blower underneath if you have room (can't see)

Might help.

Just buy a cheap 120mm FAN and run it at 5-7v (use a resistor as the 7v mod sucks imo) and direct the airflow onto the card.

Yea I am wondering whether I should rather 'suck' the air of or blow it onto the card :confused:
