Hi everyone!
Recently I started monitoring my temps and fan speeds in order to OC my GPUs a bit, but I noticed that on full load, with the fan set at max throttle one of my Gpus goes up to 93 degree Celsius, when the other stays at about 83 degrees.
My question now is (since one gtx 670 is one year older than the other, and since I Keep my pc On up to 24h a day) should I change the Gpu termal paste?
And also, detach the plastic part from both GPUs will increase my cooling performance (since my chassis has a fan on the side panel?)

Sorry for my English I hope it's understandable :D
 
If you have two graphics cards, it is common for the top card to run hotter.
That is because it gets hotter air for cooling, or less of it.

Yes, those temps are hot, but graphics cards are built to tolerate heat.

Try taking the side covers off your case.
If that helps, you have a case cooling issue.

I already tried to take off the side panel but I still have high temps. the top card reaches 90 degree max instead of 94 max :(
