As mentioned in the article, blower style fans were not deployed on 3000 series cards and they are all equipped with oversized heatsinks with cooling fans. The best solution is to use an open air chassis much how mining rigs are setup to allow all hot air to be pushed away from the cards. Otherwise, I think the issue is that blower style fans cannot keep up adequately for how much wattage the higher end cards are consuming, I could be incorrect but having a single fan moving airflow across such a large heatsink wouldn't have enough CFM to keep up is just my opinion.
