So i want to find out the best cooling solution apart from water cooling as i don't really want that much maintenance, is there anything different i can use or is that the only thing i can use for best results.

Thanks in advance

GPU cooling is still something to be desired, agreed. For optimum cooling you will have to research some quality chassis's out there on the market. Here's a link to reviewed chassis's by Techpower (lots of them) techPowerUp! :: Reviews.
Research thoroughly and everyone has different tastes but I personally choosen Lian-Li over almost every other brand just for the excellent craftsmanship & the lightest aluminum architecture available on the market. You will not have in any mid-size case optimum cooling simply because of it's size & lack of internal space (there is some exception's). Full tower's provide huge internal space for all of those wires, overall more accesories to wiring management and 3 times the cooling air flow. You decide
