Hi,
I have 2 radeon 4850 cards stacked on top of each other with the temperature profile loaded to speed up the fans to cool down the temperatures, but I also have an auzentech xplosion 7.1 right in between the two, the temps for the cards are 60C idle and 80 under load, I wanted to know if that would cause an issue for the sound card? would those high temperatures affect the sound card?

Thanks for the help

Hah, I'd be more worried about the sound card blocking the airflow to the 4850. As long as you have good ventalation to move that 80C air out of the case then it shouldn't be a problem.

Id ether go for a large case side fan with cross flow (not diagonal up across CPU, make it go from the bottom of the front to the bottom of the back with the cards via other fan configs) where the case fan sucks it out, or go water cooling. The latter is probably $300, youd have to go 2 gpu coolers, a cpu cooler, and all the gizmos.

I think you may want to rig up better cooling.
