Will fans alone be enough to run this card cool or will i need to get some sort of water cooling system as well?

Unnecessary. Read the hardware Canucks review on this card. Even overclocked it's one of the coolest running cards. Like any peripheral, blast the fans with some air to clean the dust out every so often as that will reduce cooling efficiency.

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

The fans are good. The system stays cool. I have (2) 120mm fans on the top and the 2 that came with the case. My system stays cool majority of the time. I run renderings, photoshop, and other programs.

I am using 400W power supply with this card and it works just fine. This card has pretty low power requirement especially since it has no cooling fans. This card is designed to be fully fanless by using bigger heat sinks. I mainly used it for the good performance, smaller profile and fanless design. Please let me know if you have further questions.

I would recommend using a ThermalTake branded Liquid Cooling system for this case. The following link will give an idea of one of these systems. http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Performer-Liquid-Cooling-CLW0215/dp/B007UIX1RO/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1386388290&sr=1-5&keywords=liquid+cooling

Stock cooling will do just fine. I have mine slightly over clocked and no worries. Just make sure you have good air flow through your case.

Depends on the rest of your hardware. This card uses 150w, you will have to calculate the rest on your own.Minimum recommended is 500w.

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.

as this card doesn't have a fan onboard, auxiliary power is not needed. it should be fine with your system. I use the same OS and it is working very nicely.

No,just get this card and you can add your own watercool or other fans then overclock.

The card I received is passively cooled with a heatsink, so there is no fan.

The system may run but it will be at a performance loss. I am running this card with an AMD FX8350 8 core @ 4.00Ghz and an MSI 970A-G46 MB and running good on a 600 Watt PSU. I would recommend at least a 600 Watt.

I can't really tell you as I purchased this card to get my system up and running again. It was at the time recommended by my son who does play a lot of online games, but as far as those you mentioned, I don't know. I do know it is fast and worked great in my system. I suspect that you might want something more than this though for high powered games. This done does have a fan, but not much cooling.

I didn't add any extra fans as it already had enough I needed. I added Cooler Master Hyper N520 - CPU Cooler with Copper Base and 5 Heat Pipes (RR-920-N520-GP) on ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard. I am using EVGA GeForce GTX 670 SuperClocked 4096MB GDDR5, 2x Dual-Link DVI, HDMI, DP, 4-Way SLI Ready Graphics Card (04G-P4-2673-KR) other than standard equipment.

The answer to that would be quite subjective. It depends what you put inside of it. Mine is *very* quiet running a stock intel heatsink and a full sized GTX770 graphics card. Your cooling fans will contribute the most noise, generally, and the case is excellent on its own aside from any other fans you may choose to include (cpu heatsink, discrete graphics, etc)

Don't know precisely but I can tell you that you will most likely need low-profile RAM. The fan extends out over the RAM slots on many boards.

I have never heard the fan on this card but I am not a real big gamer, to me so what if it is. chances are if your a gamer ill be drowned out by loud exhaust or gunfire. I own 2 of these cards each in a gigabyte ga970ud3 mb & have had no troubles.

As long as you can allow air flow for the fan, it should be ok. It is a very nice power supply.
