EVGA 1660 AIO compatibility

[James76]

I recently purchased an EVGA XC GeForce GTX 1660 Overclocked Single-Fan 6GB GDDR5 PCIe Video Card . I am trying to find out if anyone knows if there is a compatible GPU bracket to attach a aio / clc cooler too?  I looked at the Kraken G12 but it lists everything else EXCEPT a 1660.

You shouldn't need an AIO for it. The cooler should do very well with the large surface area on the heat sink

you don't need an aio, that thing has a freakin 3 slot heatsink

I don't think it'd be possible to get better cooling performance with a 140 or 240 mm CLC AIO considering the cooler already on there. EVGA figured out their shit with GPU cooling after pascal and their burning cards after they introduced the FTW2 series that replaced the low quality VRM cooling and lack of thermal sensors. The cooler on that 1660 is beyond substantial, especially on a card that's already so thermally/power efficient

OK thank you for all the responses.  1st real pc build for me in oh 6 or 8 years... i had been Frankensteining it with leftover parts.

If you want better cooling, you're better off spending the money on liquid metal for the stock heatsink instead.
