Graphics card cooling solutions... help?

Hey all,

 

This is my first post here, I hope this is the right place.. Anyway, I recently picked up a GIGABYTE RTX 2060 Windforce OC 6GB rev 1.0 (yes a very long name). I was upgrading from a AMD Radeon RX 5700XT because I just didn't really like the card and so far the 2060 is doing better. I get about 100-120 fps on all Epic settings when playing Fortnite, which is great. I get about 50-60 on low settings when play COD Warzone/Cold War. Why is this I wondered? I installed MSI Afterburner to see if I could overclock my card and noticed that my GPU runs at a solid 80-82 degrees celsius when playing ANY game. I read online that this is okay and don't worry about it. I don't really believe that, and was looking for some water cooling options or just better cooling options in general. I can't seem to find any waterblocks or anything like that for this particular card and was wondering if someone knew of somewhere that sold those?

 

Also, this might not be the place for it, but I am completely new to water cooling, should I invest in a watercooling system for my CPU as well? 

 

Thanks for reading/taking the time to respond!

 

Here is my complete specs if that helps any:

 

Motherboard: ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core

GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 2060 Windforce OC 6GB rev 1.0

RAM: 4 4GB sticks of HyperX Fury 2400MHZ

PSU: Rosewill 550W 80+ Bronze

Cooling: Currently have 4 Corsair case fans. 

Chassis: I will invest in the right case when I figure out what I need to buy.

Ask a water block manufacturer. But it seems like it is a reference PSB

 

If you are new to water cooling read up on it,

It gets expensive fast.

Also requires a lot of maintenance compared to air on top of the usual dusting you also need to drain refill and clean the loop.

 

I recommend getoblasting the card.

Strap some good 120mm fans on it and the temps will go down.

 

 

But yes the temps should be OK.

Nvidia cards are built to turbo as much as possible to run at 80ish degree to squeeze out as much performance as possible
