I put enough piece of wood underneath to prop up the card just enough to take the pressure + a bit, do not force the card up too much, just take the weight + a nads butt so slight upward pressure.

I cut a piece of wood at a slant now, so I can adjust the height by wood further on the card or not, so it should make things easier than trying multiple sizes.
I have currently got the gap down to around 9c under load in heaven now, which is stark contract to the 20c+ (with default fan profile),I was suffering just 2 days ago. Currently gpu2 is topping at around 85c now. If I can push that down a few more degree's then I will be delighted. Still not found the sweet spot (if there is one) for propping up the card.
I am trying to adjust the fan profile to go up to 10% faster at 80c to try and get it in the low 80's instead of mid 80's for now. With the slight increase in fan speed and the other various attempts to get the temps near, at idle gpu1 now sitting comfortably at 38c and gpu2 at 33c. With the gap at load around 9c, I will settle if I get it to 6-7c. Will do me fine until I can sort out water cooling. You may be able to assist me with that, when the time comes as I have no idea what to do, or what I need for water cooling. I stayed well clear of that so far. All I know is I will be looking at a good few hundred quid to get it all.

Another potential thing to attempt is to put my psu at the top of the case instead of the bottom, not sure how much of an effect that would have though.

Finally got some pictures up
still need to get some black cables to neaten up my case but all is running well and cool.

Your pictures don't work mate.

Any idea why mate? I've put the img quotes in and linked them to imageshack

Go to the links panel on the right and copy the forum code.
Like so:

No idea. Just use IMGUR instead. Could be Chromes ad block blocking the pictures. IMGUR works fine though, use that.

EDIT
Or do what Pete said.

hot linking issue, if you right click the box where the image should be and copy image url, paste into another tab they load fine.
Soldato
You can also copy the direct link and use img tags, but you'll need to resize the pic first because it's massive
But yeah, use imgur instead.

Very nice Andy. I do love a red theme and i think my next pc build will have an AMD red theme throughout.
The dolls a bit weird though.

The best thing is those fans look exactly like the 7990 fans.

hehe yeah
They're Xilence redwings. Pretty cheap too tbh.This pic shows them a bit better (I hate flash though). They're on custom made brackets and have had the frames cut off.
And in action
Caporegime
Yeah in action they look identical, out of action they do look different. But who looks at fans out of action? No one!
Soldato
They're different sizes. I couldn't fit a 92mm over the VRM sinks unfortunately so had to use a 80mm. The memory one is the 92mm that wouldn't fit haha.

Alright these pictures should work. Any suggestions you guys could recommend for my case? Getting some SP120s in red for my rad and to replace the top fans, black braided wiring but what else would you recommend?
ALXAndy that's a really nice rig
Apologies for the poor phone quality

(pictures removed temporarily because too large)
Not having much luck here are you?
I generally upload large pictures using the source image link and just give the link instead of resizing and putting them into the forums.
