Hey everyone currently in the process of my second build and my gtx 670 (palit non jetsream) is hitting 81c, i've recently got the 800D and learned air cooling for it is terrible looks like i have to go water but I cannot do that at the moment funds are low. so concerned about the summer were it will easily raise by 10 degrees or so is there any way i can keep the temps down?

and even worse i will be sli'ing so temps will ceraintly raise (Scheiße) what can i do?

Seems a little high for a 670. Did you contact Palit about it? Maybe there's something defective with the card. But maybe you should have gotten the Asus version of the 670 instead, they're very cool 'n quiet.

But first things first, do you have enough air flow in your case? Make sure you have at least one 120mm intake fan, and another 120mm exhaust fan, that's the bare minimum to have on a modern build. For instance, I have 2 x 120mm intake fans in my build and a 200mm fan for exhaust.
