Gigabyte R9 270X OC Water block?

Does anyone know a good waterblock for a Gigabyte R9 270X OC. I have searched it up but I can't seem to find one.

They don't make one because it's a mid end card and it makes no sense to WC it, also the PCB isn't reference and the only time they make blocks for a non reference PCB is when it's the highest balls to the wall card on the market.

I don't think you can get one for many non-reference 270Xs. EK seems to have most GPUs, and it doesn't have this one

I think it ain't worth water cooling just save money for a better card :D ( I don't have much experience with water cooling and water blocks but I do know that they are way expensive )

 

- correct me if i'm wrong

for the amount of money it costs to watercool a 270x, just get a better gpu.  it doesn't make sense to water cool unless you have high end components.

@SuperSnowPlays I had the same issue with my HD 7870 Ghz from gigabyte and even tho there is blocks for that chip the gigabyte cards are mainly non reference which means a lot of water block manufacturers won't cater to them unless 1000s of people ask for it. Also with most gigabyte cards they are voltage locked which means you can't push more volts into them unless you made your own bios which you will have to do at your own risk. With that card and the windforce cooler you should be at a mac temp of 60℃ on a decent overclock anyway
