Would this be recommended to place directly under an Asus GTX 780 Direct CU2 Graphics card to draw out the heat?

No. I had two of these fans and they are very noisy and fell apart within 6 months....the only saving "grace" was that I got them with my points I earned...

No, but you can pop the metal part off, flip the blower over, and install it on top of the card to cool the board. At least I was able to do that on the generic one that I received. Not sure if you can on the Antec brand one that this was supposed to be. You will probably notice a VERY small difference, 1-2º at max load.

Probably not. I used it for a passively cooled card and it was great. But it would be fighting the fans on your card, they both draw air instead of blow. This blower is kind of loud so I moved the pins to run on 7v instead of 12v and it runs much quieter after that. 5v is too low and it might not start spinning.

It all depends on what you willcuse it for. If it is for gaming I would use the Asus GeForce. The XFX AMD Radeon tends to over heat.

I'm going to say a provisional yes. Sort of. The motherboard has one available PCIe slot (I'm guessing 3.0) with what seems to be more than adequate space around it. BUT You'd probably need to put in a different power supply. The specs for the GTX760 say it needs at least 30 amps on the 12v rail and a PSU of at least 500 watts. I strongly doubt that the stock 300W power supply in the ATC-605 would be sufficient. And then with all that extra heat, you'd probably need at least one additional case fan.

The TDP for a GTX 780 is 250W. Unless you're running a LOT of hard drives or some cpu with a huge power draw, you should be able to use this power supply with power to spare. I think it's unlikely that the rest of your pc is using 250W. I am running a crypto mining system with 4 video cards (each with a TDP of 150W) with this supply and it's only pulling 700W from the wall. Let's assume about 15% efficiency lost to heat so.....that implies that the system itself is actually only drawing about 600W from the PSU.

It should be fine. I personally mount my psu the same way to get cool air from the bottom of the case. Just remember to clean your air filter every so often.

The system one you can can just tape to your power supply or hard drive/SSD. The graphics sensor and CPU sensor can usually fit in the fins of the heatsink. The sensor wires can bend so I usually put the end of the lead into the middle of the heatsink, under the fan, then tape it in place (they give you heat resistant tape strips). Do not be tempted to put it between the GPU/CPU and the heatsink. While you would get a more accurate reading, the gap that it would create would kill the effectiveness of the heatsink. Run a temp sensing program and you will see you are usually a few degrees off from the actual temperature but it is still great for easy monitoring. Just remember you are always going to be showing a few degrees cooler than actual temps. Also, the display says System/HDD/CPU but I use them for HDD/CPU/GPU as I would rather monitor my GPU temp than both HDD and System temp.

I don't think you'll have any problems with a long or tall graphics card in this case. But micro ATX motherboards may limit the thickness of your choice of graphics card. Fanless, passively cooled GPU's usually require a larger heatsink, and often take up two PCI slots on a smaller mobo. If you plan to use all of those slots for accessory cards, you'll probably want to install a GPU with its own fan.

Kinda... You could remove the cover and the fans from your graphics card, then place this to blow air on the graphic's card heatsink. I recommend against this because the fans on your graphics card are designed to change speeds depending on temperature. This will not do that automatically. I recommend to either buy the proper replacement fan for your current heatsink/graphics card or google search "graphics card aftermarket heatsink" and replace all of it.

Oh, and do a push pull configuration with that hearsink and youll never have issues. I also recommend arctic silver thermal paste(one fan pushing over the heatsink, and one fan pulling and exhausting. Both fans will blow the same way)
1050818
Yup. Should do excellent. Note though, that's with the stock cooler/heatsink that doesn't cover the PCI express slot of course ;-)

You can pu the PSU fan up or down. Fan up will cause it to intake air from near your gpu and that will cool gpu while increasing PSU temps. Fan down will make it intake air from outside of case through the bottum vent and make PSU run cooler.

I am gaming on the board with a intel 4790 and a GTX 970. I do have an aftermarket cooler (air) on the cpu but honestly probably don't need it. Highest temp in stress testing was 48c. you should be fine with stock heat sink.
1254452
You could probably do that although I wouldn't advise it. The heat build up is the problem and it might get a bit too hot unless you have a really good PWM and good heatsink.

I find the temperatures to be satisfactory, and honestly this is a very quiet graphics card. But honestly if you're looking for complete silence, I would watercool anyways. But, so far , I have no problems with my graphics card.

Nope, its known to be one of the coolest running gtx 770 cards. Definitely do not need a water cooling system.

For the 780, the minimum PSU required is 650. So technically you would be OKAY, but yeah, if you want stability and better performance, then you should probably invest on a larger PSU. I have the 780 and I'm running a 750W PSU. I recommend that or an 800 PSU

As long as its mounted correctly it should only blow hot air out the exhaust. If ran intensively the card does get hot and can make the inside of your case warmer but this is the same with all cards. Be careful though as the metal pipes on the top do get hot to the touch after running for awhile.
