Inspiron 3847 Questions

I have two questions about the Inspiron 3847:

1. I recently changed my CPU and now I'm getting higher CPU temperatures. I'm using the Dell CPU cooler. Can the Dell cooler be replaced with an aftermarket cooler?

2. I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU to a Gigabyte Windforce GTX 1060. Would the GTX 1060 fit in the case? The card I'm asking about is 8.8 inches, here's a link to it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125906

Get a plastic Ruler and see.  It may require hacking off .5 inches from the fan shroud.  The 1060 will NOT work with the stock power supply.

Aftermarket cooling may say fan failure then shutdown.
