ClementPillette reports trying the fan approach with 8 fans blowing at max speed: at 22°C room temperature, the two middle GPUs in the rig still exceeded 90°C under heavy load lasting more than 10 minutes — highlighting that mid-stack cards in multi-GPU setups are hard to cool regardless of airflow.
