I recently aquired an EVGA gtx 760 reference card. I ran Fromark for 1 hr and everything looked ok accept that the stock fan even at idle was loud n cranky. Is there a way to put a custom fan on? I have seen a couple of gpu fans on newegg that look good but my card has a hideously large aluminum heatsink on it with the fan next to that at the end of the card. Can i get rid of the heatsink and put the fan directly on the gpu? Will the shroud go back on? Does it have to go back on?

"You can't directly put the fan on the GPU, that would increase the temperature SUBSTANTIALLY. You need a metal heatsink."

This i understand. the fan options i am talking about ARE heatsink fans like the ones you put on a CPU but scaled down to size for a gpu.
