To Hot!

[AMD6415]

OK I am having a problem with my video cards running to hot. Like somewhere of 96C and up while playing some games. I have tried adding a fan in the front of my case in front of my HDDs, didnt really help so I kinda jimmy rigged another fan behind that on the other side of my HDDs (PIC) and that has helped but I am still running up in the high 90s. Is there anything I can try that would help with my temps? I know my case is kinda small 2 big cards like I have but I didnt really have any money for a bigger case. I am thinking about trying my luck at making my own side cover so I can put some big fans like right on top of them but I figured I would ask on here to see if anyone had any ideas.

Not to sound stupid, but have you blown out your case/cards with some compressed air?

 

[AMD6415]

yea I do that every few weeks or so

Ok, just checking. The main problem is probably the case being so cramped in there...is there no way to fix the wires to allow a little more airflow or breathing room?

 

[AMD6415]

I have tried moving wires... could go through and see if I can't figure any other ways though

See if you can't tuck any wires behind the mobo tray...I took about 2 hours trying to rout all my cables, lol.

nvr thought about tryng to put any behind the mobo, not a bad idea

Take off the other side panel and see if there's any room under the tray itself, some cases have a little pocket or something that has some space. I don't know anything about your case though...I just taped mine right to the tray and my side cover still fits.

this is kinda dumb question, but what percent do you have the fans on the gpu's at?
