To start off, I'll list my build components...
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 Mid-Tower
CPU: AMD Vishera FX-8350 8-Core 4.0 GHz
GPU: 2 x ASUS DCUII OC GTX 760 2 GB GDDR5
Mobo: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
RAM: 2 x 4 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz Unbuffered DDR3
HDDs: Toshiba SATA 3 (6 Gbps/sec) 1 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM
Seagate Barracuda SATA 3 500 GB 2.5" 5400 RPM
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 128 GB
Fans: 2 x Xigmatek 140mm Purple LED
1 x NZXT Standard 120mm Case Fan
4 x Xigmatek 120mm Purple LED
1 x Corsair AF 140mm Purple LED
2 x Corsair AF 120mm Purple LED
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO
PSU: Coolermaster Silent Pro M2 720w
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE 144 Hz 24" 1080p Monitor
So my primary card idles at 28 degrees Celsius and the secondary card at 24 degrees.
When I benchmark using Unigine Valley 1.0 the primary tops at 78 degrees with the fans running at 100%. Yesterday I was in the test range on Battlefield 4 and the primary card all of a sudden froze up. I'm assuming it reached max operating temp. But I watched it closely and it never hit 85 degrees.
I have plenty of air moving through the case and have 2 fans blowing directly on the two cards. So how can I keep the cards cooler without buying an aftermarket cooler or switching to water cooling?
