    MSI GTX 680 Lightning getting too hot!

    Hello boys and girls.

    Today I got my 3rd MSI GTX 680 Lightning.
    The problem is, if I set the cards normale in 3 way SLI, Lane 1,2,3.
    Will GPU 1 be 90c in load and GPU 2,3 62c.

    But if I move GPU 2,3 from Lane 2,3 to 3,4 that means there is a space from GPU 1 and 2, so will GPU 2 be 90c max, and others 65c.

    I really dont know what is going on?
    Hope really some of you have a good idea to fix this!

    Thx!

    Your best bet is to watercool them Temps are high cause there is no room for them to breath! Normal for tri/quad sli on air.

    Try installing a fan blowing directly at them, either at the side or at the front.

    Even a HS fan taped to the slot area to help won't help a lot.

    The only way is to WC them if the temps and noise bothers you. I WC my SLI, I did my 280s too.
    All stock for now, no need for more, but it's gonna be soon methinks.
