RX 580 Water Cooling

JesusTriscut · September 23, 2019

I'm thinking about making a water cooling loop and was wondering if going the extra mile to water cool the GPU would be worth it or not. I have a ryzen 7 2700x on an MSI Bazooka V2 (B450M), 16gb of ddr4 3200 ram, and a RX 580. I have a 700 watt PSU.

Realistically you'd be doing it for aesthetic and quieter operation. The reduced heat won't make a massive difference in terms of the GPUs life expectancy.

A water loop for a GPU like the RX580 is absolutely pointless. You will literally spend more money on the loop than you did buying that RX580 when it was new. You will barely get any performance boost. Your money would be better spent on a new GPU.

That's what I thought, thanks for the feedback.
