How can I cool this?

Like the question asks, how can I cool the graphics card? I have two case fans. I was thinking of cutting out a plastic box for the fans and IO. But my main concern was how to power the fans themselves. I would rather not have two power supplies in a box.

The thing has an air cooler already!

You just need to slap it into your PC and make sure you have enough airflow through your case already.

Yeah that's the problem. Its not in a PC.

I am using the external GPU adapter for my laptop and the GTX 580 for my card. I am worried about using an old card like that in an open air environment.

is this for an external GPU for a laptop? this guy got a CPU cooler on a Gtx 680, check it out.

My setup is ghetto enough. I don't trust myself to set that thing up correctly. Seems like an awesome concept though.

Very over budget.

I just need a way to power my case fans without a extra power supply. Because I am using the 220w brick.

I do have an Acbel 350psu. But I would prefer to avoid using both supplies.

Lol, my friend has a GTX 690. Its sitting on top of a box, am not kidding....

PSU is inside of a box with the mobo, a 212 evo, and the GTX 690 on top of it. It will be fine.

you could try to run everything on the acbel.
