Hi Guys

I've just upgraded to a second 560Ti and just bothered about the heat from the first card when gaming, i know they can run hot but i would prefer if it ran a little cooler. I Have it at stock clocks but have seen people overclock these cards in sli and not have any issues. I don't consider my case to be bad at airflow and I can't move the cards any further apart.

My front fan is pulling air in the same as the two side fans and the cpu fan and top fan push air out.

Please could you advise.

:( just spent £550 on upgrades so a new case is kind of out of the question. and having my hdd's at the front restricts the air flow :( will stick my hand in and see what i can feel.

so in that respect i guess I can't do any more at the minute.

I'll alter my sig now, ty :)
 
I've just swapped the side case fans to pull air out but the cards run even hotter :( its just the top card has no where to push air apart from on the back of the other
 
Thank guys, actually found a site for modding my case and i can make a few minor improvements to airflow. for the time being i removed the back plate in between the two card and it knocked off a few degrees :p
