Asus Mars Quad SLI overheating might be solved

This card is a sandwich as well with the cooler being in between the cards, correct?
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 so 2x 470, JUST the Mars
Very impressive, WR in power use
The coolers of my Mars might easily hold 700 watts but not 940

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