Again, suggest you chuck another 140mm or 120mm below your current intake fan and your GPU temps should drop noticeably.

Hi
I put two Noiseblocker NB-eLoop Fan B12-3 fans in the case.
However makes no difference. perhaps a degree of two on GTA 4/AC-U. However CPU much happier.
I am OK that is bounces along at that temp now. It is just a run hot card.
I have no issues with it sitting at that temp for hours and no loss of perfornace.
Cheers

LOL convection???
OK just spent an hour or so fitting a 100mm fan to the rear of the case by the CPU cooler. (things take much longer now)
and I had a bit of cable management as well... quite chuffed TBH
Anyway
I have re-run the Heaven benchmark. 30 mins then benchmark and my CPU temps have dropped to mid to high 50's... awesome....
GPU is still 83 but I am now OK with that being it's baseline, seeing that I am using the card to manage the fan speed, it still is quieter than the case..
Cheers all
Come on! pics or it didnt happen

OK taken me a while.... However
Cable management is still a pain as its an oldish PSU and the cables are very stiff.
Also there is no way to exhaust the card, so hot air is being pulled up over the CPU cooler.
I could put a 140mm in the front as well but the airflow is obscured by the drive bays....

Your Heaven benchmark is better than my little ITX system which has a GTX 980.
Wow
Surely that should not be??
CPU?
Do you have a Fire Strike score?
You should own me on a graphics score ...

Its a 4770k at 4.5ghz.
Stock palit jetstream speeds.

Have you thought about adding an exhaust fan to your side panel, if it permits?
I used to have 2 fans blowing air in to the side onto the vid card, but switched it have them suck air out, it was a night and day difference.
I have a Powercolor PCS+ 290x OC, and it's @ 71 degrees max at 40% fan speed, which is silent.

I would ask the forum on that as it seems quite low for such a good card...
I have a windowed side panel so its not possible.
As I have said, it's quite happy to be maxed out at that temp, but I see others with much cooler cards. There are a number of people with Inno3d's that run hot and they have changed coolers n stuff, however I am not going to invalidate my warranty...
Otherwise its a great card...
My OC has given me a 10% increase over stock on both heaven and fire strike, so I can't complain...
Yes, 80c isn't much of a concern and as long as you're happy, I think you don't have anything to be worried about.
