Just a small suggestion. I remounted my gpu coolers with antec formula 5 a couple of days after I bought my cards. It lowered the temp by 3-4C. If I were going to put a fan anywhere I would mount it to the side so the heat being pushed down, by the fan on the card, can be pulled away instead of recycled.

You could put it on the "front" side of the GPU if you have an easy way to mount it. I only put it on the back because it was easier to mount than on the front.

Today I decided to do something new, I used the Intel Fan to force air into the GPU fan.
This lowered my temps in Furmark from 80*C to 71*C. That's a 9*C drop.





(I will post this in the original post too.)

I hope that the lower temps will allow me to overclock a little bit more.

Good luck Zealotkiller! You could also replace the TIM on your GPU to lower the temps even more.
