GPU Heat Issues

[Aux10]

As some of you may know I recently got a new GTX 460 and installed it in Cassandra to go with my GTS 250. This configuration works great and all but there is one problem I have, heat. The system it's self isn't over heating and the GPUs are running at the nice and toasty temperature of 60C. The problem though is that this monster makes my room the hottest room in the house! Now over the winter with our freezing weather and all it wasn't really a problem but now that it's warmed up a bit it has. Here's an idea, yesterday it was 60F out and the house was 71F with the AC on. My room though was a killer 76F! My only solution has been to idle my 250 but it didn't seem to help much. What do you gu...

Open up the side of the case and point a 20" fan at them!

There is currently a 200mm side case fan blowing at them. The whole thing is made of fans

Front case fan. 200mm
Rear case fan. 120mm
Side case fan. 200mm
Bottom cas fan. 120mm
Top case fan. 200mm
CPU fan. 120mm
PSU fan. 140mm
GTS 250 fan. stock
GTX 460 fan. stock
That makes a total of nine fans.

Is there any venting you can do, or can you pull a Hankey and put the box outside/under the house?

If you can, put your box below a window and put a fan in the window. Also try running different projects. Some projects run much cooler than others. If all else fails you'll have to start down clocking your cards when the weather really starts to heat up. Living in Florida I've had to do all the above.

My two boxes are push a 1,000 watts running Bonic, in a small room. It's like having a 1,000 watt heater in the room all day. I'm thinking putting a room fan in to push air out of the room. There isn't a real good solution, the heat from all those watts has to go somewhere.

I'm in the same boat as you, my room hits 85+ by morning...... So this may sound extreme but it is the solution I plan on using. Add a return vent for the Central Air directly over the area where the computers are. For me that would be over my desk.

I have 5 boxes in this room. 2 with GPU's. It cost too much to try to keep this room cool in the summer. I have double hung windows, so I put a window fan in the window and leave the top cracked. I shut the floor vent off and keep the door closed. Temps hold in the 80's. but it works unless you need to be in the room and then it's grab a towel and sauna time!

Nice! That's the best idea I've heard yet. My computers are over an unfinished part of the basement, so it's doable

As it just happens to be the air return vent is in fact in my room, not sure if it's really helping or not.
