gpu slowly getting hotter and hotter on idel as time go's on

so yeah my gpus never got hotter than 35 on my top gpu and 31 on bottom one yet now there at about 10c more

You could try changing the thermal paste. Manufatures sometimes cheap out on thermal paste and the cheap stuff begins to degrade over time.

It seems like they are just to close, i would never recommend SLI'ing cards unless they are water-cooled.

 

Are you using dual monitors or something else that might have the temp go up?

Also, there could be some dust inside the cards or one of them just isn't getting enough air :/

nah not any more had for a little while ut had no need for secondmonitor

It has to be the air then :/ As i said i never recommend SLI or crossfire unless they are water-cooled for that reason alone.

My idle temp with dual monitor = 45-47 My idle with 1 monitor = 31-37 (depending if i'm doing something or not), and as you know your idle temp is a bit high.

 

I don't think it's the thermal paste either, it's EVGA they make some of the best cards in the world so i don't think they would want to spare a dollar on each GPU^^

yeah it a bit hoter here than usall but not enough to accept temps that high

[jamese669]

i decided to take the top oneout and putthe bottom one in the top slot and its not hoter than before da fuck could be overvolting or osmthing but not sure

All it seems to me is that the "top card" in Precision X is not getting enough air or that the gpu cooler isn't connected properly.

You could check if all the screws we're in tight (not to tight obviously) ^^
