Using AIO cooler with reference GTX 670

[Askew]

I have this card (MSI GTX 670 reference)

 

 

I've seen that you can use one of the AIO coolers to cool GPUs and so I'm wondering if anyone knows which one would be good for this as the stock cooler is crap.

 

Also, I see that the VRMs are cooled by that spreader which gets airflow from the blower fan as part of the reference cooling solution, so what should I do with that?

Get a G10 and saw it in half. Not even joking.

I dont think youll be able to mount something like  a G10 on that

Email NZXT, they're pretty good about answering questions and ask if the G10 would work on it.

That sounds like a good idea, I will do that thanks.

It says on their site that it supports a 670, which I think yours still uses the regular mounting spacing for the gpu. With the G10 you'd just have the fan side hanging off so you can either saw it in half or let the fan move air towards your CPU.

I am worrying about the VRM, it is suppsed to have air going through that spreader and I know this PCB has crap circuitry compared to the 680 one I don't want to bake them.

 

I'm sure I could organize a small fan in there somewhere, the stock cooler keeps the GPU ~70C load but it's loud.

Could ghetto mount the fan below the card and point it upwards?
