Vertical mount dropped gpu temps 17c

[Ebony Falcon]

So iv always had a fan in the side of the case for gpu air flow (used to run sli) 

and my temps are now maxing at 45c 

that’s hybrid temps !!

Is that a fan cutout on the side panel?

Yeah was cut out for sli 980tis 

which ran at 87c before the fan because there was no air flow 

 

but when I got my 2080 I just left the side panle as it was instead of ordering a new one 

 

So yeah that fan cut out blows right onto the cards fans now

 

and as for dust I stretched a pair of tights over the back as a filter

Okay, just wanted to get some clarity before I go "doing just that can't be the only thing..."
