yeah, the i/o on the galax was extremely disappointing to me.
A 1070? With TWO(2!!) DVI? For what purpose.
For when you want 2 DVI ports on your PC, of course!
I DID IT!!!!!
First time taking apart a GPU; I was so nervous that I would break it. I managed to fit the Zotac 1070 in
I was hella nervous but it booted fine first try.

Looking good! Now comes the fun wire cramming part.

The wire-cramming wasn't too bad. Connecting the GPU to the MOBO was BY FAR the most stressful thing i have ever done.
As soon as I get my Galax I'm getting into my time machine so I can gift it to myself circa 2002.
Maybe someone here can help me, my GPU reaches about 83C within a minute of playing Overwatch. I am using the 1070 + Scythe slim 120mm. I have tried uping the Fan speed percentage in BIOS but it still reaches 80C almost immediately.
is the fan blowing ONTO the Heatsink? try flipping it, maybe you set it to pull by accident.
By the way the 2nd pic on your post above, is broken.
Is the Scythe fan hooked up to the CPU header or the GPU header? I don't think your BIOS will control your GPU's fan.
I had it hooked up to the Sys Fan header on my Mobo when I changed the settings. I could hear the fan get louder and everything
My biggest issue with the 2 DVI, 1 HDMI, and 1 DisplayPort is, yeah I can drive all three of my 1080p monitors with one DisplayPort daisy chain, but the monitors are all 1080p@144Hz. Then, they aren't specced to support 1440p or 2160p, but they actually can be forced to through drivers... If I want to do that I'm really starting to choke DP's bandwidth. Even having just two DP would allow me to daisy chain my two side monitors on one and drive my primary/center monitor with a dedicated DP.
Newer HDMI (1.3b?) supports 1080p@144Hz, but that would require me to get a newer monitor that supports that standard, I'm pretty sure.
I'm tempted to gun for the MSI 1070 mini instead of the Galax, but I'm afraid of the hacking I'll have to do to fit it in the S4 Mini.

Mind you that doesn't ramp the GPU's fan with the GPU's temperature. You either have to use software or use an adapter cable (if PWM).
With the shroud removed, you will probably need some ducting around the fan and heatsink to ensure the fan is actually pushing air through the heatsink, rather than air spilling around it.
The fan mount there is more for HDDs and passively cooled cards. It can work for some GPU setups but air pressure is important.
You could try creating a duct with gaffers tape if your card shroud is too long to be used.
