need some advice..
im going to wc my 280x vapor x with a universal Gpu block EK-VGA Supremacy - Acetal+Nickel and ram sinks.. The vrm already has a heatsink over it. so i was planing to ziptie a fan over it.
im not sure what size 70mm, 80mm or 92mm. im looking for the least amount of noise and good airflow? also can i use the fan header on the card instead of my mobo.

Thanks

go with a 92 mm fan, and you can use the fan header on the GPU itself and use afterburner to set a fan curve for it.
