Right so, i wanna water cool my GPU, i have an RTX 2060 super. Now i know they dont run extremly hot ive just always wanted a water cooling kit fot for my graphics card. Ive been searching the web for about a week now and have only a found a couple things and they're not really what im looking for. Is there anyway i can get an AIO for my card?

I am not sure if NZXT is still making it, but they made an adapter to use any corsair style (asetek patent) AIO. I had the original version which was made by some dude on like overclockers.net or something, and used an original H50 on it with my GTX470. It worked pretty well actually. 

 

Oh, looks like they even made it nicer... just make sure it will work for your application. But here it is:

Im using an AIO for my GPU too. its pretty cheap too (got it for $33) though i doubt anyone will suggest it. it is made for GPU though. I got ID Cooling frostflow 120 VGA. they have a 240 version too.  not the prettiest but it works. 

 

Trustable ones are just regular asetek AIO +the NZXT mounting kit

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"

of course, this is one of the things i have found but it leaves the card not looking great and ive heard it restricts you putting the backplate on after installation. i was looking for a full waterblock but i will buy this if it comes to it. is a 2070 / 2070 super similar enough to a 2060 super to use a water block from that cuz ive seen so many water blocks for the 2070

thats not an aio, that is for a custom water loop so it will not work.

NOTE: I AM NEVER ALWAYS RIGHT, BUT I AM HAPPY TO HELP ANYWAY I CAN

Besides being for a different card which usually means it will not work, unless the PCB layout is identical... Which you would need to verify very thoroughly before hand, that is for a custom loop, and 99% of AIO's are not expandable, so you wouldn't be able to use this or any full cover block.

Don't know if you found a solution but I use the ID Cooling Frostflow 120 VGA from Amazon as well. I bought a 6 pack of 15x15x1mm copper shims with adhesive thermal pads for the VRAM and I use a dual 90mm fan config that goes in a single card slot and blows upward to cool the VRM and VRAM. The kit comes with memory heatsinks but they are too tall for most 2060s. If you go with copper shims no more than 2mm with pad/tape and shim or the water block won't clear. My temps are great. GPU never goes above 48C overclocked to 2100 Mhz, runs at 2050 Mhz after heat saturation, the RAM stays SOOOOOOO much cooler, as well as the VRM. I used a IR thermometer to measure the VRAM Heatsink/Shim temp on it's face after a heavy workout and 134F is average. Great, inexpensive, and effective thermal solution that puts a good bit of performance back on the table. I hit the power wall before clock instability with this setup. In most benchmarks I'm beating my brothers Gigabyte 2070 Super. Bonus I'm able to leave that beautiful backplate on. The ID Cooling solution isn't the prettiest but can be made to look descent and is highly functional when subsidized with the other cooling components all from Amazon, what sue me.IMG_0249.thumb.jpg.b66a805e1c7461f7317c79413d2ed953.jpg
