Hey all,
I recently got a new PC with 2 6950's (dirt 3 edition). The motherboard I have is http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/upload/pictures/ASUS_Maximus_IV_Gene-Z.jpg
Now, my idle temp for first card is 40C and 30C for second card but under heavy load (playing witcher 2) the first card shoots up to 85C and then it shuts down the computer. It did it after around ~45mins of gameplay the first time and then ~5mins second time i tried to play it.
I have a total of 2 fans on each card, 1 fan on the back of the case, 1 on top, 1 front bottom and 1 on the side pointed directly at the cards.
I know the issue is with the cards basically touching eachother but i cant do anything about that with this mobo so i need water cooling for atleast the top card since it gets no air flow.
Could someone suggest to me a cheap way to get water cooling for 1 card (as i am noob to it) or suggest another way I can lower the temps?
btw my case is haf x-942
thanks!
