AIO Cooler for RTX 2070 Strix

[The.Magician]

Hello,

 

Anyone know of any good AIO kits that are compatable with the ROG Strix OC?

There used to be a conversion kit sold by nzxt. I don’t think they’ve been a thing for some time though

I saw the Kraken G12 but it doesn't have rtx as supported cards yet

Definitely still a thing.

 

NZXT Kraken G12.

Really, you just wanna look at the PCB of the card you have and where the memory and VRMs are.  If they all reside on the right of the GPU silicon then you're almost certainly fine cooling them with the fan on the Kraken G12.  If there are VRMS or memory on the left of the GPU then they won't have direct air flow over them and you'd do best to Google your specific card and see if anyone has tried a Kraken G12 with it yet.

You think this would work?

Yes, I do.  

 

I did some thinking about memory too and I probably shouldn't have mentioned it as it is usually around the GPU and not off to one side like the VRM.  

 

And in your case it looks like the majority of everything that needs cooling would under the fan.  The PCB layout looks a lot like my 1070 ti that I use the Kraken G12 on.

I just watched a video where someone used the Kraken G12 on a Founder's 2080 ti and had to use the AMD mounting brackets instead of the Nvidia brackets, but that shouldn't be a problem.  Both sets of brackets come with the Kraken G12.

Ok Cool. Thanks a lot!

Also, you may not see any benefit to using a larger AIO than a 120mm.  With a 120 AIO the max temps on my 1070 ti have been 53*C with a +150 on the GPU in a 85*F/29*C ambient room playing Destiny 2 at 4k.
