Right now the core is staying around 65-70C under full load at stock voltages with a decent overclock (1150/1650). The VRMs on the other hand get to 90C. I'm pretty sure that this is what is keeping me from overclocking any more than what I have already. What are some good methods to get those temps down? I plan to put some case fans inside of the case to move air over the back of the board (at least I will once I have access to my other case fans again in a week's time). Does anyone have some suggestions.
And I know that XFX wasn't a good choice for overclocking, but that was the one card that went down to normal price when I had the money to buy one, so here we are. I don't want to consider something that would cost a good bit of money, like water cooling or something since at that point I might as well return it and just get a better card and not deal with overclocking at all. So yeah, cheap ways of getting the temps down some, if anyone has any ideas.
