I have a Gigabyte GTX 660 Ti and I am not very happy with my temps, I have seen it as high as 82C.
My case is a Coolermaster Mystique 632, it might not be the "best" case but I added additional front fans and a back fan. (Although the exhaust fan seems to be not working well, I am about to get new 120mm fans to fix the issues).
So basically, I have two 120mm in front, the exhaust and there are two openings on the side too.
The Gigabyte 660 TI has this custom cooler rather than a blower and I see the problem that I really don't know where the hot air is actually going. I can't help but think the card's cooling is not optimal, the HS is also getting really, really hot. (Fan running at 80%. Yes already applied new TIM on the card but will do a new job when my MX-4 arrives.)
The ONLY solution now I can think of is to replace my weak case exhaust fan with a decent one and then putting an additional 120mm on the side of the case, basically blowing straight on the card to further dissipate heat.
I am also playing with the idea to get a new, budget case, a coolermaster 280, but then I THINK that the cooling *in essence* is the same as with the Mystique case (except that this would have a larger opening on the side for a 120mm but then I dont know whether this would work since my CPU cooler is sticking out quite a bit).
Anyone have any ideas to get my card running cooler and to enhance airflow?
