I have two EVGA GTX 560 Ti's SLI together sitting in a full tower case. One Issue I run into is that the case doesn't have a side fan (naturally, added one though), and the 2nd card is sitting almost all the way to the bottom of the case.

I had went ahead and created my own spot for a 120mm Fan and made more than enough holes for air to either come through or go out depending on location of fan. So my question is as follows.....

1) 120mm fan blowing away or towards cards? It is blowing out already
2) 2 80mm fan's by front panel blowing in or out (these are blowing in already)? I have one 80mm on the back that blows out
3) Is 69-80c for the top card to hot, and 65c for the bottom card to hot. We keep the house at around 70f for the kids

thanks in advance
 
Solution
^ that is a good thing - side fan blowing right at them.

Edit: Install MSI afterburner - you can adjust your fan profile to have the fans spin up sooner and faster vs temperature.

Yeah I have the evga precision program that I have calculated a fan curve to, and the only time it gets to those temps is when i'm playing BF4

thanks again
