Hey I'm looking into getting better cooling for my set up.
None of my stuff is OC'ed I'm running
i7 2600k: 50c idle 60-80c load
2x HIS HD 6950's 1st 40-50c idle, 60-90c load
2nd 50-65c idle, 70-99c load

All of them are running with the stock heatsinks and fans
my case is the Azza solano 1000 due to its huge fans.
In the next month I'm gonna be moving to school and they dont have good AC so I will need alternative/better methods of cooling my rig.

Any incite would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Agree.

Your GPU temperatures are crappy though. I'd sell the 6950's and get a single 7950 3GB with non-reference cooling. Where are you located?

ebay.ca? Should get almost enough to pay for the 7950. At stock, it won't be quite as fast, but the 7950 can OC to 1.1GHz making it on average the same speed as 6950 CF, and it's a temperatures and noise levels

You can find an Asus 7950 3GB for $324 AR
