Switching the GPU cooler

In terms of aesthetics, it is possible to switch the original cooler to a RGB that works in the same way to the original ? I found in Chinese websites replacement for new ones but the same thing. I know that if I try to put a faster cooler with the output energy header could cause some problems, because the cooler would be more "hungry".

I'd rather add RGB strips to the current cooler instead, then control them with RGB header somewhere (mobo, even the back of the graphics card if you're using Asus Strix cards)

My RX 570 is from PowerColor. When you said "RGB strips to the cooler" You mean, below the fan ? I don't think it have enough space. I'll send the image

what might be an idea, what came up just now is that @CableMod has some great gpu backplates with rgb lighting

I'll check. But If you do find a RGB cooler for it, let me know. Thanks! It's a RX 570 /OC

knew that from your other post, but don't make it too hard for yourself and don't go sketchy. you might be better off paying for the good stuff or just buying different things

I know. In the other post I just want to change the Heatsink for other original and not buying a new cooling solution  cuz it would cost more for me, because my Heatsink is weird with some stuffs on it.
