Your cards will highly benefit with a side panel fan. However, any fans you add will only benefit by around 2-3c at the very most.
Have you considored replacing the stock TIM on the cards for something better?

If I was you, add would fine some way of adding a side fan and a fan at the end of the cards. Not much more you can do.

What are your ambient temps?

Have you ever done it before on a GPU? You risk the chance of breaking it by doing this. I would try the fan solutions I've suggested and then make a decision from that.

Cable ties can help you attach the fan to whatever is around it.
I hope my information is helping you bud. thumb.gif
