Hey guys,

Quick question. My 2nd card is being used for folding@home, and temps are around 70-71 degrees celsuis. Is this an ok temperature for this card?
 
Yeah, The heatsink on the hot one tries to push air towards the front of the case, but the front case fans stop the hot air from escaping the card, so the hot air stays in the plastic cover. I was just wondering if the temps were normal.
 
Yeah, that's exactly the one that I've got. I've got a slightly older one above it, and that has the fan on the front end, blowing air out of the back end. That never exceeds 58.
 
Anyone know if any one of the graphics coolers on the OCUK site would fit my 9800GTX+ with SLI?

Thing is, I need the airflow to be dumped out of the case, and not inside like it is now.

EDIT - I was looking at this:


Any thoughts?

Yeah, one of them blows air out the back and that's ok temps wise, doesn't break 60 when gaming.

This one however tries to blow air into the case (the carpy designed one), and temps are 70/71.

Would the AKASA AK-VC03-BLUV cooler fit it you guys think?
