Quick nooby question

Where do hot air exhaust with dual fan intake cards, like the ASUS gtx 770 for example. They intake with the dual fan and exhaust out back?

[DoubleY]

They intake with the two fans and outtake primarily out the sides of the card. Some air does leak out the case though, just not as much as a reference cooler.

Alright because yeah, I put my hand next to it (near backplate) and there is really no air, so I guess it's exhausting all out the back, which is great since I'm using a 250d.

not as much as a blower design* not all reference coolers blow out of the case

Which ones don't?  All of them from Nvidia AFAIK blow it out the back

I know and a lot of people also do but I'm just pointing out that some reference coolers are different Heck even the 295x2 doesn't have that kind of design or the 7990 or 690

I believe the 690 does blow out the back, doesn't it? From what I've seen, it isn't open on the sides.

not sure doesn't look like it but It's a weird heatsink design so idk

Maybe it blows out the back and the front? No wonder it gets so hot... They didn't open up the sides for more air flow.

Why buy a card with two fans when you can have FIVE!

 

Props to Gigabyte design team for a great April Fools design! Wait... It's real? Ummmm, well then...

[Morpheus]

anyway to answer to OP, the dual fan ones exhaust the majority of the hot air into the case usually

But I don't feel any heat inside or near the GPU. Only at back and a bit in front.

please post a picture of the exact card you have. I'd have to see it to know exactly what's going on and also, is this while you're using the card or when it's not being used (e.g gaming or just on desktop?)

Gaming, I reached 68 degrees max on arma 3. It's the GTX 770 from ASUS, the DCii cooler type.

that's really weird, that cooler mostly blows air back into the case not out. Not sure what's going on man sorry... My best guess is that it's mostly blowing it onto the mobo and it's going up from there so you can't feel it.
