Ive got a xigmatek elysium, pics just a few posts up
Just had a BF3 session, hardware monitor tells me that the bottom card got slightly warmer than the top card.
top card 72 degrees, 48% fan
bottom card 75 degrees, 75 % fan

I see you also have a 200MM fan blowing in the side ... I rest my case
I got the Direct CU because the longitudinal cooler fins should encourage air out the back of the card, but zero air is expelled !
Asus is not afraid to buck the trend why can they not design a 2.5 slot blower cooler or something ?
That would be pretty cool. They have got a 3 slot cooler on the direct cu ii top 680 cards. I was half tempted to buy a couple of them but i didn't really have the space. Also i didnt really want to go spending 4 figures on my graphics
The 200mm fan is running at max and is the loudest part of my system. All the other fans are Gentle typhoons and are v quiet.
If someone did design waterblocks for the 670 cu top cards i would probably buy a couple as ive already got most of the watercooling stuff.

Yes, that's your answer get them in that loop
Why can't you just make a couple from some generic blocks ?
I'm sure they are being made for the 680 Direct CU so you might get lucky, the problem is they put the VRM's in the reference position on the 670, I don't understand why they did not use the 680 board really as there is little power requirement wise between the cards !

If somebody releases blocks for them il go for them, im just not a fan of the generic vga blocks, dont look anywhere near as cool as the full cover blocks.
wouldnt mind knowing the difference between the 680 ftw and 670 ftw?
as evga themselves directly sell the 4gb 680 FTW for aprox £500...2gb 680 FTW for aprox £455 heck even the 690 is £800
was tempted for the 690 in a big way but seen website results showing comparison on 2x 670 reference models within 5% of 690 results so for a 670 ftw it would be faster i think..
just need to know the difference between (2GB) 670 FTW and (2GB) 680 FTW to justify the £130 difference.... if it just the lack of a math processor or whatever they are called that work out the geometry then thats crazy.

670 FTW is a 670 gpu on a reference 680 pcb/cooler assembly
680 FTW is custom pcb and cooler assembly.
Oh, I read on evga forums that someone benched their 680 FTW and managed an overclock 34mhz above their previous 680. A signature I think.. LOL.
so your paying around £130 just for a modified pcb that technically doesnt do much than a middle level evga 680
well thats crazy and has answered my question.
