r9 295x2 Questing Regarding some cpu coolers

[TheProdigyZach]

Sorry new to the forum but a long time watcher of LinusTechTips on youtube way back.

 

I bought a r9 295x2 last year during tax season. Throughout the year and also within the last few months, i have put this card in a Corsair 250D since march of 2015 and sometimes would hit the thermal limit on one or even more than one gpu on the card. Taking a long time in researching over the last few months I'd rather not go into full loop watercooling. I work as a part time and as a college student and I do not have the time to invest into a watercooled system. I take and move the computer around usually on a weekly basis and that is why it is in a small case. I have 2 performance edition SP120s in push pull pushing air out the front of the case. So i had researched and from what i can tell, the asetek cooler that is on the 295x2 is very if not the same as the h55 cooler from corsair. From the picture, i'm wondering if the h55 can be screwed in the same way. If you have a r9 295x2 and did something like this, let me know how it is. I'll need to install 2 to the card. I'll be keeping the central red fan to cool the vram but want to know if this will be better than doing a full waterloop for the GPU in that small of a case. If you have suggestions about using a waterblock instead and doing a loop, try to give me a budget.
