R9 290 custom air cooling?

Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

You can get the NZXT G10 and a compatible liquid cooler for it.

Basically the Kraken x40 because there's like no point getting the x60 for a gpu.

The Prolimatech MK26 is said compatible, as is the Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 3 (you just have to add little heatsinks). There's also a Gelid one that is compatible afaik.
