True dat but what are the chances of this to happen when he doesn't want to change thermal paste?

That's pretty good, how's the temps doing? Gotta make sure the cooler is mounted correctly and also, did it help?

Oh did you? Sorry, didn't see that...well you're going to have to just live with it...or get some water going as with your current coolers, there's just no chance for them to get any cooler unless you like ramping the fans up to 100%...

Well.... I guess ill look into 2 g10s with some coolers, just hoping the cost wont be too great

I still believe we can do something about this before you get new coolers...what are the temps like with one card? (75c is fine but the worrying part is the fan speed for those temps...)

I have 3 displays D:

 

Utilise adapters and plug all three into the cooler running card.

Already tried to no avail with fans blowing air right into them and thermal paste being replaced...

Ah well. I don't imagine more fans on the ceiling of the case would do much, either.

Single card on Black Desert ran 66-68c at 60 fps, same game on crossfire has the top card running at 70-74c and the lower card running at 60-63c (both cards fans ran at the speeds the temps are at so like 60% for 60c)

I mean thermal paste will help, but it ain't magic. I say let it set, by using it. I believe AS5 has a setting period. 
I should know because I use it, but I never really cared to see if there was a temp. difference.
