I never did any high end gaming since I've setup my sli, but now that I have, my top card is reaching 99+ temps. My cards are nearly touching one another as those are the only two pci-e lanes I have to support them. In hindsight I should have gotton a reference card for the top slot as those don't dump air into the case but I'm stuck now . Anyone have any tips for trying to cool the top card? I have tried taping a fan to push some air into the needle thin gap between them while sticking a pencil at the end of the cards to create some airflow(hope that doesn't stress the pci-e slot too much hehehe). It did do the trick somewhat with max temps lowing to 95-96 but still need more. I can't really underclock/volt as rendering games at 1440p is already challenging enough. I considered getting one of those evaporation cooling fans and just blow air into the side of the pc...but I'd rather not go that far.
Those cards do put out a fair amount oh heat, your best bet is replacing its cooler. Some graphics coolers are rather cheap i think but i can't help with models because i have never looked into it myself.
