Hi guys, I'd like to share what I did with my 280x dualx VC.
Wa koy lingaw nya di pud ko kapilde sa mga troll sa Dark Souls 2 mao akong videocard ang gipahimungtan! haha

Naa koy accelero xtreme II gpu cooler from my long dead HD6950 na wala nay gamit naa lang sa cabinet, nakahuna huna ko na what if ako gamiton iya triple fan sa akong dual fan r9 280x.. so mao ni resulta...
1. removed stock dual x cooler

2.This is the comparison between the 2 coolers, same size (90mm) but accelero has more blades and more fans! so I am convinced na this should perform better (?)...

3. comparison sa heatsink. accelero is a beast! more heatpipes,but downside is separated ram sinks which I did not like...
The plan is to use the stock heatsink and use accelero fans!

4. stock dual x fans removed..
5. modded accelero fans, added three holes for mounting
6 the power of zip ties!!!! hahahaha
7. the new look of my 280x!!!! waaa mura nag toxic version or murag gigabyte 280x version pud!!!hahaha
8. installed in my very abog rig!!!! hahahaha
9. Up and running!!!

the number one question.... THE PERFORMANCE??

Answer is..... SECRET!!!!! confidential!!!!hahahaha. enjoy!

zip ties ra na kupot sa mga fans ana sir? dili uyog?

yep zip ties ra boss. wala gyud sya vibration and it is dead silent!! this is maybe because daghan blades ang fan sa accelero (?).
@fisher7 yep ok pas ulryt. ang pinaka dakog improvement is ang noise, ma full load man or dili hilom ra jpn keu =)

[fisher7]

mura na gyud ug toxic boost sa sapphire. mas maayo diay kung mas daghan ang fans.
