Hey guys,
I know that with the ACX coolers for Nvidia cards you can have the fans pull in air to exhaust hot air out the back of the card by changing settings. Can the same be done for my vapor-x r9 290? If so, how?

Thanks

Solution
ACX coolers pull air up and through the heat sink by default. A majority of the air going through the heatsink will remain in the case, while a small amount will be pushed out the back of the card. There are no settings that change how the cooler works.
This is also why good case airflow is very important.

Reference blower style cards exhaust a majority of hot air out the back of the card.
