Water Cooling a Zotac 1070 Mini

[Accessless]

As buying a new graphics card at the moment impossible I thought that I would try my hand at water cooling my system. However sensibly at the moment companies are only producing water blocks for 20-series cards and up. I have found this block: https://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/EK-Water-Blocks-EK-Thermosphere-Nickel_69762.html (assuming that I can get the correct mounting).

 

Does anyone have any recommendations about VRM and VRAM heatsinks as this block only covers the die itself. Will passive cooling do?

I would not recommend passive cooling at all. They do make little copper heatsinks you could thermal epoxy down, but that’s a semi permanent solution….. which you may not want.

 

I wouldn’t watercool unless you can find a full cover block.
