Hey,
On average when playing games my SLI set-up runs between 100-130 degrees celcius and often downclocks while playing due to heat. Actually its mainly the top card, while the bottom one sits around 80. Its rather frustrating and am wondering if there are any possible solutions other than watercooling?
 
You can go to

www.xoxide.com

they have a sunbeam PCI RACK anywhere thing that looks pretty interesting. If you bought a fan, you can mount it on the side of the two cards and blow cold air inbetween them and above them which may help reduce temps. Also make sure you have good airflow in your case. Good circulation is the key, and if everything is cramped together, you may want to buy a bigger case.
 
Sounds like you have a really poorly cooled case.

If you supplied us with the case and setup of fans, we could help.
 
yeah you might need to work on airflow.

And an nvsilencer would be good for the bottom card. It blows the heat out of the case so most wouldn't rise up to the top card.

btw how hot is it in the room?
