Hi all,
I built this computer and it runs great. However, it seems like my GPU runs a little warm considering how much airflow I have with this case and how cool the CPU stays. The case has plenty of open space. I just ordered a second GPU and will run them in SLI but I am a little concerned about having 2 cards so close together and keeping the temps down. I was thinking of overclocking them a little too (if it's possible since these are already factory overclocked).
The GPU runs around 78-79 degrees playing BF3. My CPU runs around 53 degrees and it's even overclocked to 4 GHz.
If you look at the pictures there are 2 spots still open where I could add 2 more 120mm fans at the very front of the case. Would this make much of a difference to the GPU?
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions anyone has. Also, do you believe my PSU will handle the 2nd card and 2 more 120mm fans if I do add them?
