Im currently running an SLI (2x) build with Geforce 780 Ti cards in a Corsair Carbide Air 540. The top card idles at around 45-50, and the bottom is in the 40s or high 30s (all temps in Celsius). I am wondering why I am idling so high, and I thought it might be because I changed my CPU cooling to a closed loop liquid solution, I am using one of the Corsair single fans, I think its the H90. I have the fan pulling into the radiator, and I think whats happening is that its cooling isnt effecient enough, and its gradually heating up my case and creating an air pocket of warmer air, as I am seeing higher temps in the rest of components as well. Could reversing my fan on the radiator to blow outwards drastically change this, or is specifically because of the way the reference ACX coolers work on the 780 Ti's?
How can I fix my high idle temps? I only ask because I saw an almost identical build online where someone was using a different Corsair high airflow case, and this build was idling at around 30 on air.
