If the heatsink fins are not covered by the Asus case you could try mounting a scythe ultra blowing air into it

Normal pc air cooling beside maybe biggest deltas is not enough. It takes extreme ventilation to support the Mars.

I think I found the cause of overheating. When the Mars are fully loaded with ozone furmark they draw 940 watts:ROTF: so 2x 470, JUST the Mars:rofl:
Very impressive, WR in power use :clap:
The coolers of my Mars might easily hold 700 watts but not 940:D

Jesus... Yeah, that must be WR in power usage for a "stock" card. :D It's like putting a heatsink on a radiator, and try to keep the radiator cool.
