Looking for a 120mm AIO for RTX 3070 FE

[KuJoe]

Hello, I'm looking for a 120mm AIO for my NVIDIA RTX 3070 so I can access the PCIe slot on my motherboard (if I install my capture card it touches the fan on the videocard). I already have a 240mm AIO for my CPU so I only have enough room in my case for a single 120mm which I know is more than enough for just the videocard but I can't seem to find one.

 

Ideally a white AIO would be best but at this point in time I'll take any AIO just to get my PCIe slot back. Thanks in advance!

i would look for a card that has an AIO build in, but from what i have seen most of them comes with a 240 now.

That's a good plan for 2022/2023, but for now I'm trying to keep my budget under $1000.

haha ok. not sure if the "hybrid" cards are so much more ££/$$ than a normal card + bracket for AIO + the AIO

 

have you done the mathz on that?

Correct me if I read this thread wrong. OP already has a GPU and wants an AIO for it, instead of trying to buy another new card.

ooh u might be right  

Not sure if any 30XX-AIO brackets  are in the market yet

I'm assuming a custom solution would be around $400. I'm hoping to find an AIO for under $200.

Didn't Nzxt make a GPU cooler like that?

What parts are you using? You could use a riser for the capture card in some cases.

I found the Kraken G12 but it looks like it would still interfere with the other PCIe card due to the location of where the AIO would make contact with the GPU.

It's a microATX case (darkFlash DLM21) so no room to mount the videocard elsewhere sadly.

Can you use a riser?

looks like a 240 can fit on top.

Can you explain this in more detail? How would a riser help?

Yes it can, that's where my current 240mm AIO is.

oh i see and guessing the gpu is too long to put one in front?

There wasn't enough room to put a 240mm in the front, that's where I originally tried mounting my AIO.

 

I think I'm just going to stick with an external capture card for now, I'll probably grab a new case in a few months that will let me mount my videocard vertically.
