TLDR: What is the best, cheap solution (besides tweaking fan and voltage curves) to get my refernce Vega 64 cool and quiet?
Hey everyone! I am making this thread because I have had it with my Sapphire Vega 64 (reference) being so freakishly loud. Right now, to keep my card from thermal throttling, I have to crank the fans to 100%--making a god-awful and loud noise. I have made other fan profiles and tweaked with voltages and clocks on my own, so that is out of the picture. Anyways, tweaking these settings is not satisfying me. I want a better cooling solution overall. And just as I got the money for the cheapest and best Vega aftermarket cooling solution (the RAIJINTEK MORPHEUS II), it became discontinued. And it is at this point that I am completely lost. I can't seem to find a cooler from the LE Vega 64s for sale anywhere, every single other aftermarket cooler from NZXT or Arctic is incompatible with Vega, and it looks like my only option still being offered for sale is the Alphacool Eiswolf Vega edition (or the EK equivalent). Now, while I do recognize the superiority of those solutions above all else, I do also recognize my wallet. 200+ dollars is simply too much for me to justify (I only spent 400 on the whole card after all). If anyone knows of anything that can get me the cool and quiet aftermarket cooler that I seek around only 100, I would be most grateful.
Oh, and I am also partial to the idea of performing light modifications to the card involving only adding components (please no drills or the like).
Thank you!
