Looks like my cards are getting hotter. One of the GPU2 clients in my work machine is starting to run up to 105°C. Currently it is at 102°C after I blew out the case. Not that there was much dust there in the first place. I've got a case with washable air filters for the air intake, and I've been good at cleaning them regularly.

I suppose I could talk my boss into letting me run watercooling on the cards, but I'm looking at probably close to $500 to watercool them. And I'm not sure if it will actually keep them that much cooler. My 8800 GTS 640M cards didn't cool down that much. Of course with a card temperature over boiling, it should help some.

Plus I've never set up watercooling on a GX2 card before.

I am sure you can find rads/pumps cheaply enough off the forums, waterblocks is going to a killer.
