    Hey guys, just got done installing these in my rig :D. I was wondering, at stock they ran about 73c with automatic fan settings idle. I thought that was a little high so I put manual fan speed at 100% and now it's down to 58c idle. Should I keep it at this setting? Will the fans have a chance to burn out keeping them at 100% all the time? Thanks in advance!

    That's a bit high try running it open case until you can figure out how to cool them down that's why I always go for cards with custom coolers their temps are low without pushing much air

    What temp do they run with just 1 plugged in? My card use to idle at 50c and load at ~80c

    Waaaay too hot... My fist card idles at about 54 cuz it runs at higher clocks due to a multiple monitor setup, second card at about 41-44c

    Hot temps on a new and assumably nonmalfunctioning card/s can only be due to insufficient airflow in the case.
