So I decided to do some testing and took everything out of the case: https://imgur.com/a/xioYZTG
This allowed me to get more distance between GPUs - about 10cm / 4in. When I put the hand in between them I didn't feel any particular heat, at least not that kind that would affect the other card. The whole system outside the case should have better cooling in general, right? But still, when both card were present, GTX970 reached over 75c. I have put it back into the case now, single-card only, then generated some more heat by stressing the CPU and GTX970 is running calmly at 60c. So... not convinced.
