Hi, I got sli 7800 gt's from back in '06 and they're having some heating problems! I've dusted/vacuumed them both recently, and downloaded a temp monitor, it says my HDD is about 52c and my GPUs are 70+c =( I got a side intake fan over the CPU and artic silver on the CPU(42c), exhausts in the back. What are some effective solutions to getting more air flow to cool down the bottom/front of my computer case? will it involve a power tool? I don't have a pic of my case, but its got a big plastic side panel, so my guess is to drill a specific hole, and mount another intake. Am I crazy?
