Was playing BF3 until my system shut down itself. Was like WTF. So I load up MSI Afterburner's OSD settings and have it show the clockspeed, temperature, fan speed, utilization, etc. and fired up BF3. Noticed that after a few minutes of gameplay the top card hit 97 or 99 degrees celsius and I'm like what the.. that didn't happen before.. Dusted the system like two weeks ago, and there's still barely any dust in there. Yes, I checked both fans on both video cards to see if they were spinning.
I have this fan mounted on the side window panel blowing at the cards. The card on the top now loads 93 or 94 and I can play hours without crashing. Tried this at stock speeds, and it stays at 92-93. I believe they're a non reference design so even if I tried to scourge the FS thread for reference coolers, they wouldn't fit on my cards. Do you have any suggestions? They're sandwiched by the way...
