Hi everyone,
I'm having problems cooling my ATI Radeon HD 5770 and I think it's because the case is inadequately cooled because for some f*cked up reason my case only has one fan even though it was advertised as a gaming PC. Anyway I used Linux to crank the case fan up to max speed (4500rpm) and the GPU fan to 95% and then stressed the GPU at only 60%. Then I watch the temperature climb to 100C before I shut it down.
Here's a picture of the inside of my case:

If I put my hand under the card I can feel it blowing out warm air but it's not super hot which makes me think perhaps the stalk cooler is defective. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could improve the cooling on this case or does anyone know of a good aftermarket cooler for the hd 5770?
Thanks,
Mark
