Potential Video Card MOD

Hey Everyone,

 

So the fans on your video card probably aren't the best right, coil whine or something like that. Could you strap some Noctual NF-F12s on their for their premium airflow goodness? Could that improve your GPU's noise and cooling levels? Obviously you probably couldnt do this in a multi card config because there would be no room but for a single card overclock? maybe? 

 

Just a thought.

You would probably be better off modding an intake and exhaust shroud around the GPUs.

 

Or at the least a fan+shroud modded into the side panel. 

 

If the shroud is big enough to get a 120MM fan, sure, but you could just get an arctIc accelero extreme

 

yeah good ideas. so a after market swiftech air cooler with some noctuas modded into the side panel would be the best? Challenge accepted.
