Do the H50 mod x2. It's cheap, works great, and it dumps the heat outside of your case. You just need to track down the brackets; they're about $10 each shipped, perhaps a little less if you buy a pair of them.
It's a triple slot cooler. I know the OP has a slot between the cards but the top card's Twin Turbo would not get much fresh air...
Do you guys think a 240mm radiator would work with waterblocks for two 680's that are not overclocked at all. I just hate seeing my top card sit at 85 degrees when its being stressed.
If I'm not mistaken, all you need to solve high temps in that game is a frame rate limiter? Seems to have a reputation for generating oddly high temperatures.
what does vsync have to do with a frame rate limiter though? I keep a frame rate limiter on at 62 fps for all my games that way they dont ever run unreasonably hot if I am not using vsync.This only works if you can select the refresh rate within the game or the game nativly syncs to 60hz or 30hz. Sniper v2 does not have this option so if you have a 120hz monitor v-sync will sync with the native refresh rate of 120hz. If he's running a 60hz monitor the v-sync trick will work, if he's running 120hz there's no way to select a lower refresh rate.
edit: you can set your monitor to 60hz via windows and the game will sync to that.

I know afterburner and precision both have it. you just click on the wrench and there will be an option to limit the framerate.What do you use to do that with? I've been using v-sync as a frame limiter.
