Hello all, I'd like to get some better cooling going on in my HTPC. My temps are higher than what I'm usually comfortable with. Idle temps are close to 50 degrees Celsius for both the CPU and the GPU, and load temps are close to 70 degrees Celsius (while gaming). I have found a good low profile CPU cooler, but my searches have been fruitless when looking for a GPU cooler, specifically a GPU cooler that will fit in my case. I need to know if there is a GPU cooler available that is better than the stock cooler and will fit inside my case.
If there isn't anything available, then I will consider just getting a new HTPC case that will have more clearance for a larger GPU cooler.
