I recently upgraded to a 1300 watt evga supernova, a samsung 840 evo ssd, and 780ti sc w/ acx sli. I know have come across this heat issue because of 2 acx coolers from what I've been reading online. I could return the card but microcenter does not have any superclocked reference cooler card to swap it out for. I run an i7 3770k at 4.4 ghz(1.285v). I also have a 1tb 7200 hdd a soundblaster z which is above the top card. My cpu cooler is a hyper 212 evo which is pushing air from the dvd drive to the rear exhaust. My case is a Corsair graphite series 600t with a fron 200m intake and a top 200m exhaust. I have the vented side on instead of the window but I have yet to add side intake fans.
Now i have been using heaven since the new drivers are showing white arifacts in valley. I have the skynet bios on both cards and when I run the programs at default I get 70 C on card one and 60 C on card two which isn't bad. What I did next was turn the voltage up to 1.212 just to see if I could handle the temps before even overclocking and what I get is 80-83 C on card 1(top card) and 60-63 C on card 2(bottom card). Now I know those are in range but something is getting to hot because the system freezes and I have to reset. My question is about cooling. I know I can add up to 4 intake fans on the side. I was wondering if I should face my evo to pull the air from the cards and push it out the top? I dont know much what else I could do. I have a good amount of space and decent wire management. The air exiting the top is cool while air exiting the rear is warm. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Motherboard is gigabyte ga-z77x-d3h and i have 16g of ram. They sytem runs fine at default volts and i can even turn power bar up to 200% on default volts.
