Crossfire cooling

[rob77]

Hi

I have the antec p182 case and am running 2 6950's in xfire. Everything runs fine but now I have 2 cards I have noticed a rise in temps on the gpu's which was to be expected really. The top card sometimes hits 80 degrees and bottom card a couple of degrees less. I just wondered what I could do to bring down the temps a little. Currently I have noctua 120mm fan pulling in air at the front and then one at the back pushing air out. Is there any better way of cooling the graphics without me having to buy a whole new case with a mount for a fan on the side?

Cheers

Thanks for the reply's guys

To be honest I don't really want to go ghetto, taping fans and that to the cards. I kinda like my PC's to be fairy neat. Looks like I might have to invest in a new case then with a side mounted fan this time. I might as well as I've virtually replaced everything on my computer and I originally only wanted to upgrade the cpu lol. This hobby is far too addictive!

Thanks guys

I'll probably just leave it as it is for now. Like you say 80 isn't so bad and it's really only on games where I don't use vsync that I see them temps.
