well i have my 5870 installed and everything bu im running into cooling issues. the 5870 are like maybe a 1/8th of a inch apart which is causing my primary card to under load hit temps of 90c if not a little higher.

i have a lancool k-62 modded with a extra 140mm fan under the cd drive blowing in.

i have been looking at doing a aftermarket cooler on the primary 5870 but it would need to fit in the case and between the cards. or a $100 water cooled system for the cards. any ideas would be appreciated.

the maximum operating temperature of a hd 5870 is 100c-105c, so if it does not goes higher than that u are okay

Even at 90c its still causing wear on the GPU, do you keep your video card fan speeds on high while gaming? are they OC'ed?
