I am using 2 MSI GTX 980 TI 6G Graphics card in SLI mode. Now without overclocking this card, the top card gets hotter and in 100% load temperature goes up to 89/90 degrees and crashes. I know as I don’t have enough space between these two cards, first card is not getting sufficient cooling air. But My mother board has only 2 slots of 16X PCI, another slot is 8X and disabled due to M.2 NVMe drive. So, it is not possible for me to relocate the cards to get more clearance in between. My motherboard is Asus Sabertooth X99.
I am using 2 X 120mm intake fan in front of casing and 1 X 120mm exhaust fan back of the casing. But still first graphics card is not getting sufficient air. My casing is Thermaltake Core V51.
I have invested a lot in the PC (5960X Processor, 64GB G.Skill Memory, 2 X OCZ 512GB Extreme SSD, water cooling for processor etc), now I can’t change my motherboard. I know if I could get Asus Rampage or Asus Deluxe X99, I may place these two cards a bit far from each other. But its not gonna work with Sabertooth.
In this circumstances, please suggest any cooling solution or new casing or something, that may resolve this irritating problem. For you information, the temperature difference of these two cards is 15/20 degreeC.
Second card is 70/74 degreeC in full load, first card goes up to 89/90 degreeC
Looking forward to hear from you expert peoples.
Best regards,
Sabbir
