Sli-ed GTX 950 in mini tower. Bigger case = cooler?

[rikkun2002]

Hi.
This is going to be a stupid question.
I have got two gtx 950s sli-ed in mini tower. Because they are really close to each other. Top one gets up to 80 degrees or higher when under load. (Photo of what it looks like if that helps: http://)

So I want to know whether buying a bigger case (like mid-tower?) helps my graphics card cooler

dum question. check if your mobo is sli certified, and not just 2 pcie slots....theres a difference.

In case you have an ATX sized motherboard and the SLI bridge is long enough you can place the two cards to the two furthest PCI slots giving more space for the top card to breath.
Changing the case improves airflow only if you can build in extra case fans to the front or bottom blowing air towards the graphics cards.
What case do you use now? Are the fan positions populated?

I am currently using 'deepcool smarter mini'. I can only have two fans. One at the front one at the rear. And also I only have micro ATX motherboard

Yes it is sli certified.

So summing up: you can not place the cards further, but you can invest into a case with better airflow. What is your budget? Do you want to display your system?
What do you think about the Fractal Design Focus G ?

Is Silverstone PS11 similar to Focus g? https://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Micro-ATX-Computer-Window-PS11B-W/dp/B00S5V5C3Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518079318&sr=8-1&keywords=silverstone+ps11
Focus G cost 100$ in my country. I could extend the budget.

Yes, it has space for two fans in the front one in the bottom, plenty exhaust and dust filters! I guess the HDD cage in the front is not removable, but that should not bother you. You have all what you need in there. Great choice!

Thanks for the advise. Focus G looks pretty good. I'll wait a little bit and get it. Hope it'll make it slightly cooler.
