I ordered a GTX 1080 FTW, it was intended to replace the GTX 1080 FTW dt I have, part of me wants to keep all 3 cards so I can fold on them for awhile, while the other part tells me I need to sell one as the cost for the card, heat generated and power usage is just to much with 3 cards. In any case I'll keep all 3 around for a little bit, and that should allow my PPD to reach 1.5m-2m ( I game too, so one card will be used for that from time to time) still that should offer some nice PPD for awhile (and I'll need to update my time zone challenge estimate, go eastern, the original US timezone! :P )

It seems the amount of heat put out by all 3 of these folding at once is a bit much for the portable AC unit in the computer room(+ the house unit) I'll have to wonder how much that's adding to the electric bill too, not only from the third card, but from the fact the room AC has to be running full power just to fail to keep the room cool.
 
Seems I may be selling the third card as soon as I get the powerlink for it (will need to check the terms there, if I can give it away as a free bonus with the card, and whatnot.
 
Really wanted to keep it, but it doesn't seem viable for that.

Cool GTX
Duct the exhaust outside or out of the room ?
 
I feel your heat load experience.  Folding hard with three GPUs around 70 C each does warm the room up just a bit. (plus 2 more PCs folding)
 
My 3-GPUs a EVGA 1080FE and 2 Titan Pascals in my EVGA X99 are going under water next week. 
 
I try to keep the PC room 74 F or lower when it is cooler; but, had 80 + degrees weather this last week. (a new record high temp. might have been set)

Yeah, the portable AC unit exhausts outside, and seems to work well enough with 2 cards going at once, but a third seems to push it beyond the limits of it's cooling (at least keeping it where I'd like it, if I allowed the temp. to get to say 76f + then it might work, but that's a bit hot for me.
 
Good news is that it's starting to cool down a bit that I might be able to open a window to drop temps a bit in the room if it keeps getting cooler.

New update, 2 Hybrid kits incoming today, so folding will be down a bit while I get them set up, the FTW DT will stay on air however.

Takeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr timeeeeeeeeeeeeee,no need to rush a job like that, heck just shut down for a day or 5 and dust that case out really really realllyyyyyyyyyyy good. Spit shine that bad boy up. Probably be a good time to sleeve cables, format the drives and do some OCing too. Might even want to pop the ole keys off the keyboard and give them a good going through too!!! Re-site the laser on the mouse, wash that nasty ole mouse pad, dust off the speaker grills, disassemble and lube the casters on your chair. Significant other might have things for you to do too, get that done to impress there is really no need to rush this at all.
