how to reduce GPU heat?

[Knunez]

Hey guy's

I was thinking about this GPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133318

and I read alot of reviews on it and it seems that this GPU can get pretty hot when running on full power.

Is there any way that I would be able to reduce the heat?

I'm worried about this because I plan to SLI in the future and I don't want to burn my cards.

or would these:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130611 In SLI do my better?

Thx

Get a nice case with cable management and good airflow. What case are you planning on using it in? Periodical dusting helps, too.

\What case are you planning on using it in?

the HAF 912

A 560 TI should beat a 470 if I am not mistaken. It should have better temps for SLI in the future as well.

The HAF 912 is a great case. You should have no trouble with an SLI configuration as long as you have good cable management and decent airflow.

I would go for this

Or the GTX 560Ti.
Do not get the GTX 470
Greater heat and power requirements.
And also as for keeping it cool, never SLIing would help.
