Remove hard drive from the spot and put 2x120 fans or 2x140 if they fit. Move hard drive to the other side (it you can).

You have my ear... but, why? Is it that simply adding more air flow will clear this up? (To compare I'd been saying blow air into the hot spot.)

Remove the plastic brackets, even cut the metal piece and put fans there blowing air onto gpus.

Noctua NFS12 is great and silent, noiseblockers too. Just place one/two fans at a right side of gpus and if possible one in front and bottom.

If you can get 2-4 some fans from a store and ask if you can give them back (just in case if it won't work for you).

If you are looking for silence... watercool'em.
Believe it or not... I've tried everything, and still no improvement in temperatures. I have a lot of fans now. :shock:

I even put in these to allow more air to go by the GPUs, and they did help a little bit, it seemed to take a lot longer to hit higher temperatures.

I'm not keen on assembling all separate bits (pumps etc) for water cooling. Are there any aftermarket factory sealed options out there?

I may just give this a shot. I think it will let way more noise out though, but its hard to argue with a big honken fan.
