Silverstone FT02 - Ref GPU or 3rd party cooler GPU?

I ran 670 directcu ii's in SLI in my FT02. My mobo is a rampage iv formula so there are two pci slots free between cards. You can switch off pci slots with this board and in testing the performance of either card on their own was great. OCed to 1320 core they reached ~65degrees in extended bf3 sessions and with a custom fan profile were near silent. With both cards running there was about a 10degree temp differential with the hot card reaching ~75 degrees (i think it was the bottom card) and hence throttling the core. Even with the fan set at 100% for the card it was still reaching this temp.

Apart from this problem running SLI in this case it is an amazing cooler. If I popped the side panel and set up an AP15 directed at the cards the temps never exceeded 54degrees in the same conditions.
