Looking to replace fans on Asus Dual 1070

Cheers for that :) you're all set! I sometimes use the pre-set modes in GPUTweak 2 but usually only gaming mode, rarely OC mode, I dont mess about with it otherwise, the previous temps I mentioned were when the GPU idled at 40oc, it gets quite warm in here so I am a little worried about the summer months, perhaps, just avoid high GPU usage games if they get too hot, I looked at ways to attach an extra intake fan to the front of the case I'd probably have to cable tie one in the mid section of the drive bays, that may help reduce the temperature a little more.

Did some more testing after installing the new exhaust fan, (a very nice 120mm Arctic rev 2, I'm a fan of these), managed to get the temp down another couple of degrees and then I managed to squeeze an NF B9 Redux 92mm, between the card and the back of the case to extract the hot air that sits in that area and bought a noctua fan controller for both exhausts so now in my most demanding game where GPU can sometimes stay at 95-100% usage I get 65oC max. All good and no war siren sounds. :)

Here is my set up, I know it looks a bit messy but the cables are out of the way of the fans which is all I am bothered about https://ibb.co/nvauFw P.S the HHD is on sorbothane rubber discs out of the way of the intake fan and I have a Noctua fan controller connected to the lower exhaust fan as you can see it's leading out the back through the cooler tube hole :)
 
I have this set up now https://imgbb.co/nvauFw but after buying a 144hz G-Sync monitor and ditching my old 60hz one I need this new cooler plus I will be getting a nice new case to put it all in. These Noctua fans I used don't spin fast enough for the stock heat sink (should have checked the speeds first lol) plus over 60fps in high graphical games it just doesn't stay cool.
