pbcustom98 Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 As the title says, i went SLI through EVGA stepup alternative program..anyhow, before my single 7800GTX KO w/ACS3, temps idled at about 40c and load about 55c, chipset about 40c or so if I remember correctly. NOW, after adding the second card in SLI, the top idles at 52c or so and the bottom idles around 54c..Load is scaring me at 73c for the top, and 75c for the bottom..and chipset dips into 50c+ range. what would be the best way to cool this down? im looking at getting the new CM stacker 830, with the full side panel covered in fans (i believe it can hold 4X120mm on the side right over the full mobo/ram/video cards.) and some in the front/back..havent really planned where the fans would go yet, other then the four on the side panel. would that be the best option? not really looking to go water yet since im not into hardcore O/C-ing yet, but in the future i will eventually go the water route. of course, my thermaltake armor case will go to the rig im building for my wife..so shes happy =P TYIA -edit: Temps are monitored from SmartGuardian.
