Hey guys,

Looking to see if any one knows where I can get an angled fan mount to hold a 120/140mm fan as shown in red on the terrible picture underneath

Isn't that bottom front intake enough for cooling the gpu? Antec's spot coolers will do the job but I believe that they are only available with a 80mm or 100mm fan. You could always make a bracket yourself or even hang the fan from the gpu using string/bungie cord/cable ties.
 
The cooling is fine, but I have a R9 290 Windforce, and under load it's really loud, so I figured if I could put a Noctua fan I have spare in pushing cooler air at it directly at the card it might help keep the GPU cooler fans spinning a bit more slowly.

I might go play with the laser cutter at work after taking come measurements see what I can come up with
 
I would first monitor the airflow temperature going into each of the Windforce fans. If they are all receiving air 3-5c above room them you can't do much. If they are not bottom front and bottom intake adjustument / mods would be my next step.

I'm not sure what the flow rate is on Windforce fans, but at a guess they can flow 70cfm or more, and 70 cfm is a full speed 140mm fan with no restrictions.
