That is true. And that's actually a perfect example of how keeping the whole rig cooler can help temps A LOT.

Mine is perfectly fine sitting at 67c...50% fan too.
I'd suggest riser cables to separate the cards.
I'm sticking to one pool atm, btcguild.com in pplns mode, with merged mining.
That should do until LTC is way above btc in profitability again.
Is the side of the case on? People often underestimate how little air the top card gets when in an x-fire or SLI configuration.
The only in-case miner I have is my 7950 that is watercooled. When I ran two others in there, Temps easily went to 90-100c. Not a good idea to mine inside a case, for temps sake.i did and didnt. nearly* same results. i do have plenty of air intakes and outtakes on this case. its a NZXT source 210 btw. if i did, i would have a fan already installed in ever part of the case thats available....yeah.
*they didnt make much difference.
I have two 5300rpm Nidec's but I run them at 3000rpm for best efficiency...also my gf would cut my #$& off if I ran 220cfm fans full blast all day. xD
I'd get a box fan for mining...much easier and cheaper than individual case fans.
