Anyone who has/had this card - is its stock cooling sufficient? (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202103&cm_re=Sapphire_Vapor-X_R9_290-_-14-202-103-_-Product) I saw a test on Youtube where the GPU was running with Intelligent Fan Control, fans going at 37 RPM. The temperature topped out at 68 Celsius with the card running at 1030MHz. It ran at about 60 FPS, maximum of 113 and minimum of 28.

If I will be keeping this card long-term (it will likely have to last out three or four years, if not longer, so I want to avoid inflicting long-term heat damage that will weaken the performance down the line) is it recommended to keep the stock Vapor-X cooler? If not, what are some good GPU alternatives in both aircooling and watercooling (assuming I can even get my hands on a waterblock)?
