Hi guys. First post.

Was just wondering if anyone else thought of doing something like this for the backside of their graphics card.

Basically i got 3x 80mm fans and bodged them together with zip/cable ties. Then i cable tied them to the back of the case. The 3 fans hover about an inch from the backside of the card and blow air directly onto it. Usually it is only cooled on 1 side. Normally if you touch the backside of the card it really really hot, but after doing this, it is quite cool.

This seems to have really helped keep the card cool under load reducing temps by about 10degree from where it was.

PS: Ignore the cable mess, im still tinkering inside there so need to tie things up a bit :)
