Hello guys.

Recently I brought a saphire r9 290 4gb.
I was impatient and didn't want to wait for the aftermarket cooling cards.
Now once I have installed my card and that later on is it at all possible to remove the fan on it and place a aftermarket fan onto it? I know you can water cool brick it but I don't think that's safe.

Im fine with the card running at 94 degrees and very loud but later down the track I might as well cool it down ya'know?

Look at the review which flyinghelmet gave you. If you think it will be easy then no problem. But I wouldn't do that if I had an r9 290. I would have used it for a year or two and then I might have replaced it's cooler because you don't get anymore warranty of that card if you do that.
