I run 2x 480GTX...they suddenly started overheating...well not over heating, just running super hot...like...104c if played long enough.

I have 7 case fans, my air flow is good, this is a new problem. I run EVGA Precision X and these are EVGA OC cards....I just noticed though that the CPU clock on the card is 725MHZ and the Memory clock is 1900MHZ...I have never ever messed with either of those since I don't know anything about it, but that 1900MHZ seems really damn high for the 480...

What should it be and any advise? Thanks again.
 
Dude, if your graphics cards are running that hot you need to stop gaming and figure out what is wrong with them, because those cards are exceeding there thermal limits (100c). Meltdown is around 112c. As for why, you probably need to clean out the dust in the cards. Also it would not hurt if you put on some new thermal paste while you are at it.
