| | still, if you use applications that require a dedicated card, it couldnt hurt to keep it a wee bit cooler. |

| | Does the side panel have ventilation holes over the graphic cards? If not, have some put in (if you don't feel comfortable about doing so, get someone who does to do it for you). |

| | Wasn't super clear about how you had things hgooked up but it is common for a card with two monitors hooked up (and powered on ) to run hotter than the same card with only one. In some cases the difference can be quite extreme. So if you are testing, make sure each card has only one monitor hooked up and prefereable the same resolution... |

| | The Antec is a quality fan, not the quietest out there but no other fan allows you to direct it so well and it also lights up blue....woo woo ! I would crank up the GPU fans first and see then look to this mobo mounted fan if needed. |

I would crank up the GPU fans first and see then look to this mobo mounted fan if needed. Should I do this to both of the cards so they both run cooler? Do I just set them & forget them? Or do I have to monitor them all the time & dial them back once in a while? |

| | Should you use an Antec fan on both or tweak the fan speeds on both. I would try tweaking the fans speeds but I must admit I just leave my cards fan alone and I just use one spot cool to increase air flow directly to the card. To the best of my knowledge my GPU will increase it's fan speed to match the draw. |

| | Yes I would try adjusting both but it appears the one card needs more fan speed than the other so I would concentrate on getting the hottest card inline with the other, then as you say blow some additional air right down on the tunnel. |
