Hi, my Sapphire R9 280X Tri-X OC 3GB GDDR5 384-Bit model GPU's fans are dead.  Even overheats and causes PC to shut down on low-end games. I've been thinking about the replace them with 2X 120MM fans. 3X 92MM fans are too expensive on my country.

 

Card itself have 2X 90MM 1X 80 MM middle fan. Length is 307MM, not sure about the width.

 

Can 2X 120MM keep the fan cool? 

 

I'll also clean the heatsink and replace the thermal paste.

 

Thanks.

 

Here's the problem:

definitely, but the space might be an issue

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

Yes, I was recently looking for a way to control fan speed based of gpu temp when they're plugged into the mobo, I only found 2 ways that worked for me Argus monitor(paid with a free trial) or fancontrol(free, when using the gui occasional message from the dev asking for donations)
