Too hot.

Are you using afterburner? You at 20% power? What hashing speed are you getting there?

You need a fan bro.

- Afterburner, no. Watching temps/fan with Trixx but no adjustments of clocks etc yet. Recommendations welcome. (Do I void any warranties when over clocking?)
- Not sure what power I'm at. Again tell me.
- Getting ~550kh per card.

They're in a case (butt up next to each other) I can run the bottom one by itself and runs at 70 C but whenever I put the top one on. Bang, up to 100 C. Just installing another fan now straight onto the gpu.

I'm aware they can run hotter than average cards, so I asked a tech at a PC shop if it was too hot and he said "Is the card failing?" and I said no. "Then it's not too hot." But we both agreed obviously lower is better.

Any recommends welcome.

[Update] I had the fan on the side of the case on extract. I flipped the fan around and temperatures dropped by a couple of degrees C. (so still 97 C). Using GUIMiner=scrypt 'high usage' but even on low usage the temps get to in the 90s

[Update 2.0] I'm glad i trusted you guys and myself (and not the PC tech guy.) After dismantling I found my newbie error accidentally pushed the gpu into the PCIx4 slot instead of the PCIx16. Fixing that brought the temps down to 88 C and below 100% fan speed.
