Moving Air and keeping this cool...

Ginge620

Cant seem to get enough cold air to my GPU's.

I have 2x 140mm @ the front and 1x 120mm on the bottom as intakes. Then 2x 140mm @ the top going though a H110 and 1x 120mm at the back all as exhaust.

I had everything out of the case for test and found putting a 120mm fan behind the GPU's (In sort of a front of case position) the GPU 1 would run around 72C @ 50% fan speed.

Now all i can get in the case on GPU 1 is shown in the screen shot. 75 @ 62% fan speed. Im using Corsair AF fans cos a really like the lighting i provides but im not sure on there performance. Everything is in a 450D (No alternative so dont suggest and other cases)

I just switched to a 450D and Sabertooth z97 for better spacing between GPU's since i was using a Grpyon z87 and 350D. Compared to that everything is better. In the 350D GPU 1 would be 80C @ 75-80 % fan speed which is very noisy.

Should i be seeing better than this ^

 

Also after around 10mins of idle the both GPUs settle around 40C @ 0% fan speed and overall pretty quiet.

FurMark is intended to try and burn your house down. Use something better like Unigine's Valley benchmark or 3DMark Firestrike.

Sorry I was on my phone. Like everyone said furmark, even though I cant get numbers that high. Using open air coolers and corsair fans will cause that. Glad to see there are people smart enough to get boards with room for sli.
