He, he, now you are on the grill.... PHOTOS please !

And do not tell it is the one with the PSU at the bottom (=sucking air out from the bottom of the case) and the big fun from the top (=sucking air out from the top of the case) ?
Great stuff, so, where does the cool air from outside get inside the case?
I see a bigger airflow chalenge than you think...

Make your life simpler, get a thermometer and place it near the air fan of your 580GTX. Look at the air temperature your GPU cooler is taking in order to cool down your GPU.
If it is too high then this is the start of te things to fix.

The other remains your 99% which hopefully will be fixed by your new NV drivers.


Good luck!
