Do you guys think I should rip off the shroud and put some case fans on it? Will it give my better temperatures?

 

Edit: Like directly on the heatsink.

Probably, probably not. Most aftermarket coolers ( I mean like Zalman and GELID Soutions) Do that and they get decent temps but it depends on what fans.

Why would you do that?

 

But yeah if you mount some 92mm fans directly to the heatsink it should cool better than the slim fans that most GPU's come with, be quieter etc.

Yes this is what I meant, directly on the heatsink.

It can work. But take into account mounting, spacing, and flow.

You could always dismantle the cooler, clean out the heatsink and reinstall with some new thermal paste.

 

That is assuming you have the stock AMD box type cooler, the actual heatsink portion is pretty restrictive.
