Folding causes my GTX 295 to hit 114c

[Combat squirrel]

As title, got one of these on the cheap to plonk in my server however folding takes it up to (GPU1) 97c (GPU2) 114c

Is this even SAFE ?!?! How in the hell do I bring those temps down?

The case is super ventilated not much more I could do with it?!?

Indeed, I think this sucker will need cool labs ultra.

QUESTION what would be faster a duel core GTX 295 or a GTX 570 at folding ?

I guess one would run work one at a time and the 295 would do 2 work threads at a time.

As it is I fold by:

(1) Main 'work' pc that is on 12 hours a day when im working, CPU fold on 4 threads (i3770k) and on a 670 GPU and a 570 GPU (570 is also used for physx when needed)

(2) Server pc (xeon 1270) folds with 6 threads and now this 295........im thinking just swap the 295 for the 570 ???? what of the 2 cards would give more PPU when left on 24.7 ?

The 295 would be more than enough for Physx .......... and I could still fold on 1 GPU while the other GPU Phys'xs?

Thanks for the facts Biffa, as it will be on 24/7 the 570 it is then, no brainer, espec as I have already added liquid ultra on the 570..........and runs 60 load now, thanks all.

Is it a good plan for the 295 as physx on 1 GPU and folding on the other then ?, 3 GPU system setup! :O madness,lol
