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?

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

I have Water Cooling though.
