it might void your warranty if you do.

I remember seeing in some website where this guy is getting bad temps on a gtx560ti hawk msi

well on his pic his case has bad air flow and full of dust so that might be the cause too. but he used this antec 620 something closed liquid cooling and ziptie in on some corners and stuff and there it goes, it runs on cool temp, if I find it i'll post link here

I didn't find it but I found something similar

actually I'm thinking of building another build but going to use a corsair h100 and slap it in on the gpu (i'm thinking of grabbing a 2nd hand gpu) and going to buy a case parts and build the case my self >.< but still saving up cash.
