Hi. I built my first pc about a couple of months ago, and today I realized how little I know about pc's. I bought the EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Hydro Copper for my graphics card, but I've been having issues with micro stutters. I realized that it may have been because of my GPU throttling, but I didn't know why my GPU would throttle. And then I found out high temps are factors that throttle my GPU. This made me realize that this GPU has no fan and I have no water cooling system. Luckily nothing exploded or anything, yet, but this is making me concerned with the idea that I need to purchase a new graphics card, which is super expensive. So, I was wondering, if I were to buy the parts, like a heatsink, bracket, fans, etc., would I be able to install that onto my GPU that, from my lack of knowledge, may not have been built to support such components? I figured buying these parts would be a lot cheaper than making a water cooler.
And if I am able to install my own equipment, can someone help me figure out the pieces I would need? I'm an amateur.
