What is the next option?

[twitchee2]

Well today I moved everything to a P180B I got yesterday and its a PITA for cable mangement but o well. I had to extend my 12v and atx cable. Anyway, my VF-700cu has been kind of pissing me off, my gpu is idling in the mid 50s and loading mid 60s-70s. I lapped the base today with a peice of granite so i know its flat. I have also taken the 80mm out and stuck a 92 on top of it. But it sill get warm. any sugestions on what I should do?

120mm would be better. Side intake and top exhaust. You may notice up to 8C difference in temps.
Lineup side vent to cover CPU, GPU and chipset.

If you need more cooling.

For side cooling.

That is perfectly normal for your video card, you know, especially when you consider the quiet PC aspect... and how much power your 6800GT is leaking off... I would consider going the Artic Cooling route as that would help you actually move the hot air out of the case.

the new black verison of the P180 doesnt come with a side intake that isnt an option. I could probaly make one.

THose temps are with the fans at full blast, but right now they are about that mid speed but my room is also ALOT cooler that might have been a big problem.
