how hot is too hot?

[TheoPetro]

FINALLY i got all of my stuff into my new case (antec p180) i grabbed 2 7900GTXs (the cheapest MSI ones) and a 700w OCZ PSU. First off let me say I am VERY happy with the purchase. with selling my old card the 2 new cards came out to ~ $600. Id say thats not too bad of a deal for 2 of these bad boys.

There is almost 0 room between the cards and im a bit worried about cooling them. The one on top (most restricted) is ~76 under load, the bottom one stays ~45-50.

Is this too hot for these to run like this for 24/7?

I think its ok.

aslong as Nightmare225 says its ok then its good in my book!

76 under load for SLI is good when running on air.

That's fine.

Single X1900XTs can reach that. It's fine for a SLI rig.

My 7900GT rig (@ 700/1620) reaches 37C under load (thats MAX).

I have Water Cooling though.
