hi guys,
I was just wondering how you manage to keep your cards this cool?!
I got two xfx 5870  running at 860/300 stock voltage and I can´t get the temperature down.
My temperature after a day of mining is between 83C - 86C the cards fans are working their asses of at 100%
How can that be? This is my current setup:

Maybe you got some tips?

Thank you!

my room is quite cold, and my case has space for a fan right over the gap between the two (looks like its similar spacing). Its not a very good fan and I might buy a better one, but right now, the cards run at about 75-80C on stock volts, but thats because I changed the fan speeds to be at around 60% (its in my bedroom, and I'd rather have it considerably quiter than a few degrees cooler).

the only thing you can do is to either do the same or get spacers.
