Cooling for r9 280x Crossfire

[cyberleo4u]

Hey all!

So I have a gaming rig having two r9 280x on Crossfire. Although I have a Cosmos S case, it's still not enough to cool the graphic cards - especially the one on top who's fans are facing the other r9 280x.

I thought maybe I could solve the issue by installing some sort of closed loop water cooling system for the top graphic card. Do you think this is a good idea or should I do something else? Also do you think this will fit? Last but not least, what is the best cooling system I can use in this case?

Thank you and looking forward for your feedback!

NO. Its expensive to use water cooling. It easily more expensive than both 280x itself.

What you can do is set the fan to work faster and earlier than original.
And regarding the fan, I would recomended to try use a fairly cheap ($5) LEPA vortex fan. Here a video of why its interesting

Its cheap and will push the cold air further inside your case. I ordered it but unfortunately it has not arrive yet. I recommended to change the front fan with this fan. This model also has PWM motor (motherboard can control its speed).

Yeah in fact that's what I did and partly solved the issue . I'll try to add more fans as well and maybe choose those fans you suggested. Thank you!!
