looking to find a solution to change the cooler on my dell 1660 super.. i know it isnt the best card around but hard to find a replacement and still works for 1080p gaming... only issues is that on load and trying to keep it cool the fan is loud.. was wondering if anyone has tried or seen a cooler that could work.. dont want to go ripping it apart without some knowledge of what am getting myself into! 

 

thanks for any help!

Is the thermal paste properly applied? I have a 1660 Ti from Dell with the same cooler, and even when playing FH4 at 1440p ultra it's very quiet.

i havent taken it apart and it is mostly the fan curve i have applied try and keep it under 60 c so the fan ramps up pretty high... more just want to make it look a bit better and quieter as the cpu is water cooled... works fine and also have a lian li case and lots of ventilation
