so you goona do corsfire with similar another 650ti boost huhh!! pretty well just use some much more fans that all you to a better air flow in you Rig's cabinet And make sure you don't overclocks cause during sli or crossfire overcko\lock works like heater !!

or if u have budget to cool them just buy water cooling kit for your gpu !!!

simply perfect !!

In a round about way, Himanashu is correct, you'd be much better off upgrading your case cooling solution than changing gpu cooler. Btw, are the Gpu's reference design with heat vented outside? Or 3rd party aftermarket where heat is vented into the case?

Well i cannot fully understand what you are saying about "reference desing with heat vented outside?" but i guess what you're trying to say is if my video card exhaust heat to my case? sorry for a very late reply. been busy.

That's a great idea about water cooling my gpu, but i'm on a tight budget right now, actually i'm just scared to fry my computer parts, i just want to take care of them my buying quality parts to prolong it's lifespan. Regarding OC's, man i would not even dare try to OC. I don't have the luxury of gold and knowledge for that.

by the way guys, i think it was my mistake about the question, i was referring to the cover of the video card that has a fan ( if i am not mistaken) .
Do you have any ideas where i can buy a custom or better cover (the thing that has a fan) for my gpu?

Ok, a new gtx650ti boost will run @$200. A good 550-600w psu to run sli will run $60-70, New shrouds to cool (if you can find them) $150. That's a lot of money invested for so little return.
For the sli you'll need a decent 550-600w psu. You could get a gtx760, which will perform the same if not better than the 650ti in sli, for the same $200, and only requires a good 500-550w psu, which you probably already have. If not, toy can get one for $30-$60. The 760 will run cooler, quieter and will not need an upgraded case cooling since there is only 1 gpu, not sli. Either way, performanc-wise, upgrading the gpu makes more sense to me, price-wise, the same.

650 ti boost SLI is much faster than a 760. Its similar performance or slightly higher than a gtx 680/770 7970/280x

Huh, ok, I'll take your word on that, but I coulda swore that the 650ti sli was comparable to a 670, but that was quite a while ago and I guess driver and software improvements and optimization have improved the speeds somewhat. Appologies for the error.

Hello guys and thank you for you spectacular ideas. i have learned new things from you, well yeah, i think upgrading my gpu will be better for a better performance and a higher spec. for SLI, i just really want to try it but if it cost more heat then i really need to use LCS on my GPU and that is expensive. I will try research more about that 760, i was fond about 780ti, the specs is amazing but i'm having trouble with brands, can you suggest which brand is durable and less likely to manufacture defected parts? thank for this guys. i really appreciate it.

ok guys thanks for the heads up. thank you also for your good suggestions and the time you made for me for my inquiries. I'll try with EVGA but would take some time due to it's price. way expensive.
