I recently ordered a pair of XFX Double D 280x's planning to use them for LTC mining and gaming but I've just read terrible things about how hot the VRM gets due to lack of proper VRM cooling. The two PCIe x16 slots on my mobo (ASUS P8P67 B3) aren't spaced apart either, so this is especially worrying. Can anyone confirm my suspicions? I've purchased a 120mm Scythe Slipstream to use as a side intake, will that help? Should I just get rid of these and try to get a reference 290x?
Thanks for any help
