So i just broke a fan blade on my 970 and its about $40 to replace. I have had an idea to put my rad in my attic so i do not get hot in my room. I dont want to spend over 100 bc thats all i have. btw im in GA. This might be a retarded idea , but like why not try?

That would not be good in the summer since the attic can easily get past 40C even on a moderately warm day.

The problem isn't the heat in the attic but it will have a heating effect on the rad in the attic and instead have an opposite effect where your effectively warming the fluid back to the system since the ambient air is so hot.

For that pricepoint your best looking at an AIO type solution with an adapter bracket, EKWB does have their low cost AG kits now which are a full aluminum loop if you want to look into custom watercooling.

The all aluminum is for the 10 series right?
