As you all know, 2 gpu on 1card = heat! and lots of it.

The blower fan is fairly quiet but it gets loud quite easily. I was wondering if there are or will be any gpu cooling alternative. For now, I will be adding another case fan to increase more ventilation but I know that when summer hits, the ambient tempurature will definately climb. Right now my fingers are numb from the room being so cold.

It will be a while until there are third party coolers for this card. BTW this card is is big bucks if you take the cooler off and fit a new one you will void the warrenty.
