Janky strapping an aio to gpu... possible?

[Crazypc]

So my 3090 fe is good but in my nr200 case with a 280 aio on the side, temp is so bad to a point that it's hitting 90ish clock drop to 1850ish with 100% fan speed. so I was thinking about custom water cooling but since I already using an 280 aio on my 5900x and I don't wanna throw it away, plus a whole set of new custome water cooling is so expensive. Got me to think why not strapping an aio to it, so my plan is buy a 3090 fe water block and straping a aio like pure loop from be quiet that doesnt have the pump on the block. Or is ther other solution for this?

can any one tells me do you guys reckon that is gonna to work or not?

and anyone know the thickness of the tube ther I can buy fitting for?

itd be pretty janky, the pump is usually built into the cpu heatsink on the aio. no idea if this is possible. 

 

also, with the value of your parts you should probably just get it professionally done or purchase a purpose built custom aio for the 3090 instead of trying to make some frankenstein cooler.

do you have pic of your config?

Yea I know but I kinda over budge already, thats why Im thinking about this. yea useilly it is pump in block, but not for pure loop that why I say maybe possile.

how is it without the fans under the gpu? i think they be less helpful then you think.

same not much different, got them thought temp will be better but nope.

Is the AIO pushing heat into the case, or is it acting as exhaust..? def want it to be exhaust. If its exhaust and temps are still super high, that doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense, what case is this..?

its an nr200. yes the fans on the rad are blowing into the case. i agree the airflow should be reversed.

@Crazypcif your rad fans are blowing hot air into the system..... make them be exhaust. That'll never work out for you with them pumping heat into the case, also isn't that likely creating a serious positive pressure situation where the GPU likely can't even exhaust its heat well due to having a high pressure "inside of your case" working against the fans which are essentially air pumps. I would go serious negative pressure which will help suck air air of the GPU heatsink; also it won't be pumping ~150 watts of 5900x heat into the case.

hmm you reckon fliping the fan will be better?

yea i do. you'll probably see a bump in cpu temps, but it should be ok. also i would ditch the fans at the bottom under the gpu. if you want to improve that airflow area i would try using radiator shroud/gaskets. you'll have to measure what size you need. you can stack them to get a the perfect fit. you can even cut them and glue them together whatever works.

you can find some here
