Does anyone know if the Arctic Accelero Xtreme III fits and is able to be mounted to the Evga 02G-P4-2765-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB video card? I find my temps on the card get a little high for comfort running bf4 on ultra. I have good air close in my case with 7 fans in my case providing a neutral balance of positive and negative air pressure. I just need an aftermarket cooler for my gpu because the stock isn't cutting it.

If you have a decent power supply, you should be able to easily adjust your GPU's fan speed and cool it down a hell of alot. Personally, I dont like water cooling anyway. Just feels a bit tense knowing water is delicately in your system. With water cooling, things can go wrong. Just cool it down with the GPU fan using the driver software, which I'm pretty sure allows you to do that. If water cooling IS needed, then yes, it does fit, but only JUST. If you are fitting it yourself, then the chance of a mistake happening and damage being done is very high.

I have a 800 watt PSU and I am using MSI Afterburner to turn the fan speed all the way up, but it just doesn't cut it anymore. My CPU is being liquid cooled. But the stock fan on the 760 can't bring down the heat to temps I would feel more comfortable with. I looked on Newegg for the Arctic Accelero Xtreme III and it doesn't say if the 760 is compatible. Then I looked on Arctic Cooling's website and on the Arctic Accelero Xtreme III product page it doesn't tell me either if the 760 is compatible, but on a different part of the arctic website the 760 is listed as compatible. So I'm confused as to whether or not it really is compatible because even Newegg says nothing on it. I just want to make sure it is before buying it.
