Hello everybody,
I'm not a gamer/overclocker but I do play games and I have an acoustic issue with the graphics card in the headline. It's too loud. To address this I looked for water cooling solutions, however, it seems this design is not a reference one and couldn't find any kits out there that would list it as supported.
I tried to ask XFX for advice or if fitting a water cooler voids the warranty but couldn't get a reply.
I was looking at this water cooling kit to fit on my card:
https://www.arctic.ac/uk_en/accelero-hybrid-iii-120.html
The card is the one pictured in this review:

My concern is that the stock VRM radiator is too small to work in a passive cooling way and the Arctic kit might have a problem fitting in this design since the VRM is not located near the power sockets, as you would usually expect to find it.
Has anyone fitted this water cooler or a different one on this card?
