Asus GTX 970 Waterblock

[Billy_Mays]

I'm looking to get a water block for my new GTX 970 once I get it, the problem is trying to find one idk what's the model name but I'll only need a 120mm rad for it and a res of some kind and I would like to do hardline I prefer it over soft tubing, my budget would be $300 CAD and if possible I would like to get a CPU too (the block would need to fit LGA 1366, thanks if you can find it.

Which brand 970 are you getting?

Can't you get a a much better card for the price of the waterblock and the 970 combined?

I would always prioritise performance

But you don't know how cheap the 970 is, so I know can water cool it well

Gpu Block: 130 $ upwards

most used 970s: 100$

Gives you about 230$

Price of gtx 1060 3gig: less than 210$

Plus 20$ for a nice rgb fan or whatever you like really. 

 

But it if you wanna watercool just to watercool and have fun go for it man.

EK says this one will work: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-vga-supremacy?___store=default

 

I personally feel it's a bit sketchy given it's not a full-cover waterblock and doesn't offer VRM cooling.

 

EDIT: Ignore everything above, get this one: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc970-gtx-strix-nickel

EK specifically says it's a GPU block. Either way, I edited my post after finding this: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc970-gtx-strix-nickel
