Please recommend me a cooling solution

My spec is as below.

Would love to watercool but far too expensive.

My CPU cooler is stock.

I have no case fans.

Sometime my card artifacts due to my ambient case temps being too high.

Silence is golden by the way!

Thanks a lot.

Sorry it's no help to your problem, but it made me laugh!

Not having case fans is the biggest nono I can think of in aircooling circles.
Two quiet 80mm fans in a push/pull (one intake, one output) will cost you no more than a tenner and will drop case temperatures by a huge amount.

You say you have no case fans !!! Crikey your system won't survive the summer heatwave.
Check out some quiet fans here:

If you've been running without fans for a while you may want to check your CPU cooler is still functioning properly. Applying a new layer of paste will help teh CPU temps plus a couple of large casing fans as sugested above will push more air around the card. You could get a slot fan and site it close to the GFX card but I don't think they are silent.
