I will never post pictures again when everybody feels like changing my design

Hot air comes out at both ends of the card. About twice as much at the rear though.
It is futile to PUSH against it with a fan as it will slow down the outflow of hot air
and possibly lead to hot air rebreathing.
The only feasible way was to push in cold air from the top, and additionally
sucking out some air (a mix of hot & cold) from the front.
The fan combo works, no longer am I thermally throttled.
This all is moot anyway when my risers get here.

I'm convinced that you're seeing the result of forced air from the "wrong locations". Everywhere I read (and my own experience), is that the side where you have the PSU placed, is actually a fan *intake*. Look at how the airflow works in nearly all traditional desktop ATX cases - cold air enters the front of the case, hot air exhausts at the rear of the case. The titan cooler is designed to optimal performance in this specific scenario.
If only ... I .. could reach .. that fan, and ... check .. how ... damn, can't reach it...

Try it, now I'm obsessing about it! Sorry for being pushy!
