The venting for the hot air looks inadequate to me. Good luck. ID: 1086341 ·

The venting for the hot air looks inadequate to me. Good luck. Appears you are correct about that. I had 3 GTS 250s by EVGA, and the nice thing about them was that ALL the hot air was guided out the 2nd slot in the rear of the card. It really made a great difference in internal case temps. I now have a pair of Galaxy GTX 460s, and they vent only about half their hot air out the rear, and it does make a big difference. ID: 1086351 ·

My ASUS GTX470, also pushes the hot air through the rear, double- slot. It does get hot, even hotter then the GTS250, ~85C, but, has no problems with this and doesn't make weird faults.

It was the middle card too. So I wonder if it won't get to crazy hot anyway? I guess there's always water cooling if they do. Should be a good cruncher card with all those cuda cores.

Before that the cooling on it did a pretty good job at getting the hot air out of the case. But the card was still running in the high 70's low 80's with full load on it. Don't be surprised if most of the air from that new card doesn't get exhausted too. There will always be residual hit in the case, but if your cooling solution on the case isn't enough to handle it, you shouldn't be running a hot card like that. Just my feelings on it.

Would be some testing to see how they work best. In the middle of building up a computer with 4 gtx 295s. only have 2 right now. This caught my eyes, heh ID: 1086466 ·
