I'm running two e-VGA 8800 GTS 320mb Superclocked on SLI. PCWizard 2008 reports both of my cards running 80C on idle and close to 89C on heavy load. You can touch the back of the cards and they are red hot! The cards are flat up against each other because of how bulky the stock heat sinks are, but I guess thats to be expected.
What would be a good cooling solution for SLI? I hear the Zalman VF1000 LED & RHS88 Coolers are no good for SLI because of the shape. Not only this, but buying a setup for each card would be very pricey. I'm hoping for a cheaper solution. Purhaps another fan? I currently have a good airflow going through my case, would another fan interfere with that? Also, I don't want anything hanging loose in my case and I hear bad things about those fans with the snake necks.
The main reason I'm asking is because just a few hours ago, I was playing WoW, while also watching a video and the video glitched and then my computer locked up followed by a hard restart. I heard that overheating video cards can cause this problem.
