I bought a sapphire dual-x r9 280x from a friend of mine for very cheap. The card was actually not working and showing artifacts when I purchased it so I sent it fo RMA, and in the meanwhile when I was googling stuff on the card I read somewhere that the card runs around 85 to 95 degree Celsius which is too hot, but amd says they are completely fine and are cool enough, so my question is are there any ways in which I can cool the card. like DIY cpucooler for gpu cooling with the zip straps or buy the nzxt kraken g10 or remove the stock fans and throw two 120mm fans in there, also can I overclock it on my gigabyte h81m-s motherboard? if so please give me links on how to do it
btw I live in india, I plan on playing all modern aaa titles
