hey guys, im going to get a r9 290 gpu. the temps of the gpu is really high and the noise of the fan is insane...... I'd not want to wait for a non-reference cooler.. that'd probably be next year..
So, is watercooling recoomended in this case? i dont do alot of overclocking..

im just darn worried that my gpu will get fried using the reference cooler... there are some aftermarket coolers out there that i can replace the reference cooler, but the thing is, i cant find those aftermarket coolers anywhere in my country.
please do help!
