I am in need of a new case. I am bored of my level 10 gt case and a friend wants it so I am getting a new case. I have 2 x 7970 Vapor x in xfire. The first question is would side intake fans improve the top card's temps? Been thinking about getting a Thor v2 case and putting 4 x 120mm side fans in there. Or would side fans not benefit it? If there is no increase in temp performance, I will probably just go with a case with a side window. Thanks a lot for the help!

I have a pair of Gigabyte WF3 7950's OCd to 7970 speeds. The case I use is a CM Strom Scout 2. Having side intake fans definitely helps with both GPU and case ambient temperatures.

I know for reference cards side intake fans can work. However, im not 100% sure how Vapor X fans work and where the heat goes. I heard of people saying they get better temps with no side fans... So im going for the best option for xfire 7970 vapor x... especially for the top card.
