Here's a pic of the back of my case. Interesting idea, rise! I might just look into getting one of those instead of the PCI rack. I'm not sure the rack is even compatible with my case...

I'm thinking about getting a Wherever PCI Rack. I'm going to put a 120mm fan on it and place that fan directly above the chipset. Has anyone else tried this? Would I want to direct the airflow from the fan towards or away from the chipset? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys, So, I tried a couple of different things and managed to drop my chipset temp by a notable amount. The first thing I tried was to remove several PCI Slot covers to allow more hot air to escape. I removed the cover above the main video card, the cover between the two video cards...

Gotcha... Thanks for the ideas guys. I'll try messing with my system a bit and see what happens. DEMO24, if the video card were blowing hot air on the chipset, what could I do to alleviate the issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Just for the record...

I'll give that a try. The video card in question is the main card, though. If I remove the main card and plug my monitor into the second one, will I get a signal? Either way, I'd be able to listen to the chipset fan to see if it gets louder and louder. Thanks for the idea! Any other suggestions...

Thanks, Promethply! I actually downloaded SpeedFan, and it was saying the same thing. My chipset temp seems to hover at about 60°C while running Windows. My machine seems to be working fine, but the chipset fan is annoyingly loud. Also, I can't imagine 60°C is a healthy temp for the chipset...

So, I've been having an issue with my DFI LANParty SLI-DR Mobo. I'll turn on the computer, load the BIOS, go to "PC Health..." to see temperatures and such, and the chipset temp starts off at 43°C, then gets higher and higher. It eventually ends up at 54°C. I mean, it's just sitting in the BIOS...
