Best 2-slot dual fan VGA cooler f?or R9-270Xs?

Deadlyraver · Sep 30, 2014

I have two R9 270Xs from Club 3d, and their front fans are beginning to "sag" down towards the neighboring cards since they are crappy sleeve fans. I need two replacements, and I am fine with any large expenses involved however what are my options? I know most aftermarket coolers that are good accommodate three slots, so I am stuck. Can someone please direct me to a good two-slot cooling unit for the R9-270X?

Water blocks >.<

The options I've found all day is the possible use of theG10 block, however I need to have water cooling systems that allow me to install the fan separately.

As for eidairaman1's selections, the GELID cooler accomodates three slots, all ARCTIC cooling units accomodate three unless if you have a lesser card for the L2 PLUS's compatibility,and the T-RAD unit has a stretched heatsink that with block the second card unless if I go after a different cooling unit and block off the slot for my sound card.

I appreciate your efforts, however. Hopefully we can spin up more ideas for this.

Those are the best ones thus far. My 290 vaporx occupies 2.25-2.75 slots

Your best bet may be to sell both cards and pickup a single R9 280X... would be cheaper then spending $50 or more per card for a different cooling solution.
