Not going to work. Even of it would fit, it still wouldn't be enough to properly cool the card. The bigger3x 450w windforce cooler struggles to cool that card. For an aftermarket cooler I suggest the Artci accelero IV(or III) or the Accelero hybrid II.

No special psu is needed for the cooler. That 450w is its rated thermal dissipation.

Not, for a cooler that 450w is its rated thermal dissipation.

Accelero Xtreme III because of VR heatsinks i have heared that on Accelero Xtreme IV the Backside Cooler are not cooling so good the chips
