Cooler Master HAF-X GPU Cooling...Fail...

Yesterday I wrote that I mount another fan to cool the GTX 590 down a bit. The cooler Master HAF X Case has got a lot of coolers already and provides an Air Duct specialy to add another Fan to the GPU.

The GTX 590 is just too big :), First I had to cut off some locking nibbles, then I had to cut out the opening for the Power supply a bit. With all the assembly done I tested the temperatures again. They did not change a lot, the GPU near the fan even got a bit hotter. All right I have an Airflow problem there. Now I try to cut off a "lot!" of the airduct for the next test. if this also fails I model a mount in Rhino and 3D-Print it, this would actually be a lot of fun and a feasible use of 3D printing.
