2 x MSI (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W06V14017&cm_re=1080ti-_-14-137-113-_-Product) and they aren't too too close...but the backplates get super hot.

I was hoping there would be a case out there that would have some sort of GPU "airflow compartment" similar to how many cases have a whole compartment for the power supply. I'm still looking.

And I do have to keep the cards running at around 80% power and 72 degrees but I want them to be running full force to get the full affect. Or does it even matter? Will I be able to hash more with more power running to them full time? One would think....

So I built an open air rig that sits in my garage for the time being (while it is cold).

However, in my gaming PC, I have 2 x 1080ti's that get super hot. I have a not so great case (a 10 year old Antec 900 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021).

Would I get better cooling getting a newer case? The Antec 900 has zero cable management so the cables are blocking, I know not much, air. And I can't put a 120mm fan in the side panel because of my raised CPU cooler.

Would either of these cases keep my 2 1080ti house heaters at least cooler inside of the case? (I don't mind the heat in the house...but I do mind having to dial back the power/temp limit using MSI Afterburner)
