Hey all, was wonder what is the best cooling solution for crossfiring 7870s ? I have a mid tower case and with these monsters running they hit about 80c + constantly under load. and 70c+ not under.. kinda worried about the life of these cards if they are constantly running like that.. Not to mention its kinda annoying listening to jet engines all the time (;

Thanks for your help !

There is many things you can do to cool them. Get a bigger case, add more fans, can graphic card cooling heatsink (best, but expensive!). These temperatures that you listed shouldn't hinder the lifespan of the card as AMD states that their cards can safely run at 95C. The stock coolers are loud and gets worse if you OC. The best thing you could is switch the stock cooler to a third party one,but that will be pretty expensive. You could keep the card cooler simple by keeping room temperatures lower as well.
