    I find that the fan on top of your GPU cause more heat then if you have both top and front fans pushing air into the GPU.
    This was the GPU fan is forced air into its self. Other wise the Air from the front fan is pulled out by the top fan and I think that is pulls air out to fast and the GPU fan cannot pull any are into the GPU. Do the GPU's have one Fan or two?

    Thanks, i'm going to swap the side fan around so it pushes air into the cards.
    From what I've seen so far this thing absolutely tears through milkyway@home spitting out three 213.76 point wu's every 59-61 seconds without fail.
     
    The sapphire card won't crunch at 960MHz though it jumps right down to 925 for some reason, but for games and benchmarks it runs correctly.
