Hey All,
I recently decided to SLI a pair of Gigabyte Windforce OC GTX 760 GPUs. Obviously these are non-reference models; their cooling system is 3 fans mounted on the GPU and these are oriented towards the bottom of the case (consequently one is blowing on the back of the other).
They are in a Bitfenix Shinobi Windowed case. The current cooling system is as follows:
Front: 2x120mm Intake
Bottom: 1x120mm Intake
Rear: 2x120mm Radiator Fans (Corsair H80i)
PSU: Bottom Mounted, fan facing down.
The issue I'm having is that one card is substantially hotter than the other. From CPUID Hardware Monitor:
Card 1: 68 C Max.
Card 2: 36 C Max.
Am I creating a dead zone with the bottom intake blowing into the downwards facing GPU fans? Should I put a side intake on to cool the cards directly? Thanks in advance!
