How would I go about water cooling my GPU with an aio?

EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 8gb is my card. How would I go about water cooling my GPU with an aio?

There are AiO mounting kits from NZXT.

You'd need a "Kraken G12" mounting kit and then some NZXT AiO like a "X63" for example.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Can I install it with my cpu aio plugged in? (have 2 aios in one case)

Sure, you'd just have to use a fan header for the pump. Or you buy a splitter and plug both pumps into the AiO Pump header.

Some mobos can also switch fan headers to pump headers in BIOS. But realistically a Pump should work on any 4-pin fan header.

First post on the forum, just came to say that you with the NZXT kraken g12 you aren't limited to NZXT aios, but rather aios with and asetek pump design, I have done this with my 5700xt with great results using the Corsair h80i V2 and I also have a kraken x52 on my CPU. So all in all, yes it can be done quite easily and with good results, pc is cool and quiet even under load

You can't, and it's honestly not worth it on a lower end GPU. They don't really get hot enough. Unless you're just looking for something to try and bring noise down instead of gain performance. Seems like a waste of money to me honestly.

No. Those are not compatible with the 2060.

There's something wrong with your system if you're seeing temps that high. Do you not have fans in your case?

Their website says otherwise. So. I don't know how much faith I'd put into that.
