Weather temperatures are up, so how are your GPU temps?

Can't even turn on my PC at the moment it is that bad, my room is about 35c in the evening. I have been using the living room PC for the last week or so.
 
670 sli oc and at 1.2mv 70-72 at load, normally ones at 55-57 and the other at 65. If the weather was like this for half the year I'd get a watercooled setup
 
Managed to drop mine from 72c and 59c to 68c and 55c, gtx 670 wf in sli, no overclocks though. Removed all the pci blanking plates and stuck a fan on the rear of the case to help with exhaust.



The above was a first attempt with a 120mm 1500 rpm fan, didnt help a great deal tbh. Since swapped it for a 140mm 1400 rpm fan.

My room is too hot to even check the temps today but yesterday idle was late 30's on both CPU and GPU (2500k & 780) with load about 58 and 73 respectively.

Decided on a few pints in the beer garden instead of gaming today.
 
Outdoor temps have dropped quite a bit this evening, 21c outside now. Been gaming for most of the evening without too much of a problem, highest GPU temp was 64c in Metro 2033, and I don't feel like I'm sitting next to a fan heater all evening.
 
my temps have all shot up about 8-10c in this heat lol
both my 7950s are

gpu1 : idle 49c maxed out heavy load depending on game 72c-75c
gpu2 : idle 44c "" "" 65-72c

not that big a gap between the 2 but i dont care about gpu temps unless my load temps go over 83c+ 85c limit.

Lol, id need to break out the ear muffs for one of those fans. Remember a fella on here had 3 of them on a TRUE 120 extreme with a q6600 at 4ghz. The noise was insane.

Ah your card can downclock when idle, mine cant for some reason. Its always showing as 750mhz in gpuz. :(

My cpu now atm is showing 36 as idle instead of 40-45 ish. Must have needed a few mins to get the watercooling going or somit. :/

dude go in to your NC and go in to your add and remove find whatever browser you use and change the power management to adaptive. I done this when i had my 660 ti and it use to sit around 29 to 30 idle and if i didn't have chrome at adaptive i use to sit around 33 to 34. AMD doesn't seem to have that option :(
 
i've not even measured my temps. it's been perfectly stable and that's all i care about. sure my GPU fan is spinning a lot a faster than usual making quite a noise so i just turn the volume up. :p
 
Def cooler than it has been,
