water cooled gpu, r9-270/270x

jimothy_9th · Apr 13, 2014

i have a r9-270 (overclocked to 270x) and am, interested in watercooling it i am a total noob at watercooling so would like one of those pre built systems that you just attach to the case and then glue to the processor. I would like to be able to crossfire but its not 100% required, needs to be able to fit on the rear fan of my case (coolermaster HAF-X) prefferably cheap but i dont want total crap.

any suggestions appreciated-thanks

...and then glue to the processor? Someone's doing it wrong. xP

That being said, you seriously shouldn't use an all in one, especially not on your graphics cards. That's just a horrible waste of money. If you want to water-cool, you should do it right and put together a custom loop that's going to perform massively better, last way longer, and be way less of a risk than an all-in-one.

yeah you like glue it with thermal paste dont you ?

...no.

Only really really bad thermal paste actually hardens and acts like glue - and that stuff not only sucks as thermal paste but can very easily damage your CPU, much less the far more fragile graphics chip.

It gets attached with screws just like a CPU cooler does... and the thermal paste is there for the exact same thing it's there for on CPUs; to fill in the microcracks and conduct heat better.

yeah you like put the thermal paste on it and then attatch it it with the screws going through the pcb
