Crossfire Temps

[Zinth]

Okay i was looking for someone with some experience

i have 6950 in Xfire. My XFX runs at 55c idle and my msi runs 33c idle.
they are setup like this

Would swapping them around make the XFX run cooler as heat rises ???

If that is a twin frozr, then is will certainly run cooler, but i don't have a thorough explanation, sorry

i know it runs cooler. im just wondering if i can make the XFX cooler by lowering it a slot.

Have you tried switching them round? It is pretty common for the top gpu in an sli/xfire setup to run a bit warmer, (was 10c difference for me) but 22c does seem very high.

 

[Zinth]

nah not yet. Wanted to see if it was worth switching them around first

Yeah the top gpu will run hotter, maybe you should swap them around so that your top card is the one with the better cooler.
