Hi, I have a pc that has a 780 ti in it and I am thinking about adding second one. I am worried;
however, about heat issues because with just one 780 ti my temp goes to 82 with games like Max Payne, Toom Rader, and Skyrim(moded) and from my understanding, the gpu is programed to underclock if it gets too hot. I considered water cooling, but it seems too risky and complicated. I have a Phanteks Enthoo Primo case that came with 4 fans preinstalled and has room for 5 more. So my question is if add 5 fans to my system will I get temps below 82 with the 780ti in sli or will I have to water cool to get cooler temps?

Here is the list of parts in my pc: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/entbu12/saved/ybBG3C

Thanks in advance for any help.

My GTX 780s go up to 70+ degrees Celsius, so considering how powerful the GTX 780 Ti is, im sure those are normal temps for it. You can add as much fans as you like, However you have to keep in mind that too keep your computer cool, your room also has to be cool too, because then the intake fans will suck in cool air and push out hot air from the exhaust fans, in contrast if you have a warm room your computer will also be running warm because your fans are just sucking in warm air. Im sure your computer is fine with adding another GTX 780 Ti
