Hey all, I'm running an i5 4590 3.3ghz on ASUS Z97 mobo and SLI GTX 760s.

My GPUs were running 48c @ IDLE and when gaming on Witcher 3 they are at a constant 80. I ramped the fans up to 70% on EVGA Precision X and now they sit at 43c. My case has 3 fans (2 top and rear exhaust and one front intake). Any suggestions? Should I get a fourth fan on the side infront of my GPUs?

ps. this build is only a few weeks old and I'm fairly new to the scene

A few variables that could be causing this:
1) What resolution/settings are your running Witcher 3 on? You could be just pushing these extremely hard.
2) What case do you have? Some are better than others on the airflow.
3) There could be HD's restricting airlfow from the front of the case.
4) SLI GTX's if close together will run hotter since not much space between them.

1) I'm running 1920x1080 as per my 24" monitor's native resolution with almost max settings at a smooth 55-60 fps
2) I have an NZXT Source 210 Elite
3) I was conscious about this when installing the front fan but I'll check again

would you recommend a fourth fan? also both idle and load temps are concerning to me but the idle temp moreso, 48c seems kinda crazy

good news: through some research I changed the fan speeds to better match temps and am getting solid 59-63c under load in W3 but my idle temp is still a concern @ around 50c.....
