DirectCU II 780 Ti Overheating?

[Dovahkitty]

Hi all,
I have an Asus DirectCU II GTX 780 Ti and if I set it to the factory overclock (1020MHz/7000MHz) it overheats! I have it next to a 650gtx (dedicated physx) and in a Zalman Z11 plus. As for cooling, I don't have any fans near the GPU, except the DC2 built in ones. How do I stop this from happening - for now, setting it to 960MHz on the core seems to help. I have an XFX Pro 650W PSU.

Thanks,

Dovahkitty

does your case have room for a case fan by your GPUs?

No (I accidentally picked best answer, no offence), afraid not. It would have one a little further away, but my PSU cables are in the way - I'm going to have to repost, sorry about that.

unselecting solution is not a big deal.

you should probably look into putting more case fans into your computer, and use cable management to wrestle your PSU cables out of the way. Alternatively, you could get a different case with better airflow, or consider removing your PhysX card.
