Maybe Stupid Idea but bear with me?

Ok so heres my idea. I currently have a Ryzen2200g and an Asus b450 motherboard, my plan is to upgrade to the ryzen 5 3000 series cpu when it releases. Currently im cooling my 2200g with a 120mm aio by corsair. I have an rx580 with a decent but not fantastic heatsink on it, currently at 1410Mhz, the card will clock higher with more voltage but i dont have the cooling for it with the current heatsink. Heres my plan, i figure ill need a better cpu heatsink for the new cpu as i plan to overclock and dont want my thermals to be high. So i thought, possibly, i could cool my rx580 with my 120mm aio im currently using for my cpu? And if so how ridiculous would the mounting setup have to be, id assume id need a small fan for my gpu vrms but i do plan to have a lot of air moving through my case and ill tolerate noise for better temps.

And how do you plan to mount the block to the GPU?

that is just a mount kit... it doesn't come with the cooler itself

would a 120mm radiator be able to cool a 580 ok?

I'm just wondering would all this jazz be worth extra 3FPS you'll get?

no, but i have the loop already so i could justify the investment in the bracket
