Identifying which h50 to use for kraken g12

[Remedies]

Hello, I received a 1080 from my friend when he upgraded and love the card but it is a FE card and is either loud or hot, sometimes both. I have been looking for a water cooler a and found a h50 on craigslist that is said to be compatible with the kraken g12 mounting kit, but only in the CW-906006-WW model only. I have a picture linked below. Do you think this is the correct one and will mount to the graphics card. Also will this cool my GPU better than my current FE cooler? Should I not get the mounting kit and just do the "ghetto way" with the blower fan's end still attached? Thanks.

alternative: arctic vga cooler?

That is a good option but I've seen people do a water cooling swap and get very similar results. Id definitely  try that if the water cooling fails. I also forgot to mention I found that h50 for $15 and would at least want to give it a try(given that it will mount) as opposed to instantly putting down 80 bucks on the arctic cooler.

yeah... you're probably right

 

I would suggest to ask the seller what model it is

 

and i'll add @Corsair Nick here just to be sure

Because using an old used aio-loop is not at all risky

 

Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo II is under 40$.

Should be the correct part number you referenced, but there a sticker on the endtank to double check.  I'd recommend changing out the current fan installed in the photo to either an SP or ML.  The one in the photo is an AF (air flow) and not ideal for radiator mounting.

I'd buy a new one, like a Thermaltake Water 3.0, you'll get warranty, and one that isn't so old.

Alright, I'll have the seller confirm the model and I already have a new fan ready to go. Thanks!
