Yep, card is free of dust, just cleaned it yesterday. My case is quite small and there is a lot in there - 3 HDD's etc, so that definately doesn't help.
Also noise is an issue, I hate it and will always sarifice temps a little for noise control, but I would like to make things a little cooler.
I have an Antec Spot Cool blowing onto the front of the card.
I currently have 2 of my 3 HDD's at the front bottom of the case and the 3rd in the 5.25 bays. I might move one more up there to free the intake airflow from the lower front a little, and maybe even put another fan at the back of the 3.5 bays to help draw the cool air towards the card.
Hmmm, I'm also thinking if I cut a 120mm blowhole right above the card and install an intake fan there, that would make a huge difference. What do you reckon?
Thanks for the replies.
