Update: I was able to rearrange some cables to get the 2080ti on the bottom allowing for a good bit more space between the cards. Now i'm seeing slightly better temps: 70c on the 2080ti and 83c on the 1080ti.
I did run into an issue where my renderings were crashing with the monitors plugged into the 2080ti (bottom pcie slot). to my knowledge both slots are pcie x 16 so i did not think it would be an issue. seemed quite odd to me. but connecting the monitors to the 1080ti in the top pcie slot solved that issue.
for all the people suggesting to remove the side panel: i did that and did not receive any better temps. The issue with that is that I live in los angeles and do not have air conditioning so the ambient temps are around 30-35c during the day. I am planning on getting a small desktop ac and point it at the intake for my pc. maybe that will help some.
Chrober24 got a reaction from dogwitch in 2080 ti + 1080 ti running hot
