Im looking for a way to increase my fan speeds on my case fans. Was wondering what option you guys would suggest.
Buy higher rpm fans? Or use a fan controller?

Yes my gfx cards in sli are running a lil warm. They run about 60-65c. I use evga precision to control their fan speed in that temp range I run 85% fan to keep the temps from climbing.

60-65 is cool for video cards.... Id lower the video card fans until it hits like 70-75c.
What kind of video cards are you running just to make sure |

Ya 65c load is good, below 85c you are fine, above 85c is too hot.
@rice, based on his sig, its sli 560. |

Also..I don't believe you can raise a fan above its 12v speed, unless you crank it up above 12v. Dunno if most fans can take over 12v. You can decrease speeds by undervolting though.
