Water cooling on GPU

[Stefan007]

Hi everyone!, i made this thread just to know things about Water cooling.

I know for CPU, and i know that it's possible on GPU. How good well be OCking, my GPU is sapphire r9 270x.

I'm more than happy with my GPU but in future like 2016-17 i well need much more stronger GPU. So i want to know will it be worth to buy Water Cooling for my GPU.

 

Thanks!

No, don't water cool your GPU. The slight performance increase you'll get from the higher overclocking capability is nothing compared to the performance increase you could get from buying a totally new GPU that would cost as much as the water cooling.

Yes, watercooling for aesthetics, not performance.

Why would you spend like 500+ $ water cooling a 200$ graphics card? It might look good, but it would make absolutely no sense. I would much rather have a 780 or whatever than a water cooled 270X..

This is the kind of stuff computer enthusiasts do. It makes no sense to gamers.

Are you trolling me or something?

No.

Why do you think people spend $2k+ on a watercooling loop? For the aesthetics.

Computer enthusiasts case about all PC hardware, not just the GPU and CPU. They also case about the looks, mods, features, etc...

Gaming enthusiasts only case about gaming performance, and spend their money on stuff that actually improves fps.

Or you could be a Gaming Computer enthusiast who watercools high-end components.

@Stefan007, no one actually makes a full water block for the 270X, your only choice would be the Kraken G10 bracket with an AIO cooling solution.

If you want to watercool it, that's totally up to you, don't worry about what the elitists think about your gear not being worthy.
