New hardware

[Swansen]

Yes i have 2 functional pc, by accident. Anyways got the 7950 GX2 and wow is it big had to do some real rearanging to get it to fit. Anyways i was just checkin over things and i expected it to get warm but its really warm. Actually the second gpu is around 10 degress Celsius warmer than GPU 1, GPU1-49 GPU2-61 i was just wondering if anyone knew if this is normal or if i should figure something out. WOOOO new hardware

Well if GPU 2 is the GPU that sits under theheatsink that's covered by the other board then it's probably normal to see a temperature increase tere as there's not as much airflow over that heatsink.

right, i put a 120mm fan behind it and actually cooled down a few degrees, but yeah it just knda scares me i don't know why they didn't implament some heatpipe solution, although evga is making a watercooler soulution. yes but i wonder why they didn't do something like with the gigabyte silent pipe cards, or asus's 6600gt.

Well the space between the cards is limited and so the companies may have a hard time fitting any hardcore cooling to their cards.
