I wanted to see how far I could take air. I don't think I have the time, patience, or money for water cooling right now. Dual videocard water blocks just looks like a pain to try and setup.

The link below is a post I made in a thread about how insanly hot our 7800GTX cards were getting. I have 2 7800GTX KO Editions, and they'd get upto 80C when running ATITool scanning for artifacts, and over 70C when playing games. I would have copied the post over here, but I don't think Anandtech supports thumbnails.

Extreme or stupid....either way, it worked pretty well. I'll let you guys know when I mess with the CPU speed.
