Any effective cooling solution other than water cooling?

[kriptcs]

Greetings! Since Installing my R9, I have started to look at my temps more often, and I have noticed that both, the cpu and gpu idle at like 50-60°C. 

For the cpu I will get an AIO, no prob, but what about the gpu? The only other solution I know of is waterblocks, but those require tubing and a whole system which I don't have the money for. Are there any other ways? I am talking about a Gigabyte 2070 if it matters (3 fans)

nzxt makes all in one liquid coolers for gpu's believe its the g series.  Take a look and see if it fits your specific model

Big ass heatsinks like the Raijintek Morpheus II and Arctic Accelero Xtreme series do exist

NZXT has systems (brackets) so you can mount an AIO (their AIOs of course) to a videocard. Like the Kraken G12 (which doesn't seem to support the 2070, sadly).

That + the waterblocks you mentioned are kind of the only watercooling options for GPU's. In the past there were alternative air coolers too (like the Accelero III) but that has kind of fallen out of fashion.

 

Adding more airflow into the system is an option too, but you're kind of dependent on your ambient (room) temperatures too.

The temperature of a device is comprised from a couple factors including, but not limited to:

- Ambient temp

- Device temp (some devices just run hotter/cooler)

- Airflow (or lack there of)

 

With a lower ambient you will experience lower device temps too. With more airflow (or a better cooler.. Whatever) you're just removing heat more efficiently. The GPU/CPU is stll producing as much heat. You're just removing it better.

I Checked The NZXT Kraken G12 Which @xdeathshot20 Referenced To And It Unfortunately Does Not Natively Support The 2070, However If Your Willing To Get A Bit Creative Then I Have Found A YouTube Video Which Claims To Mod The Cooler To Make It Compatible With The 2070. 

The Kraken G12 Itself Costs Around $29.99 Or £24.99 And Is Compatible With Many Aio's On The MArket.

ultra THICC air coolers are a thing for GPUs, they are fairly priced and work very well

I will get an aio for the cpu now and redo my fan setup and see how it does. If the gpu needs better cooling and do like in @DaRk X Mines's vid. I am also worried about aesthetics so I will see how it goes. Thank you eitherway!
