Non-reference gpu cooling

[paprikman]

Hello everyone.

A few days ago I realized, that I have enough parts (left from other builds) to setup water cooling loop in my work pc. Everything is brilliant, except this non-reference gtx 760. (Yes, somebody would say, that there's no point to watercool such card, but why not, if u can.)

I see 3 ways to deal with it:

 - sell this card, get reference version & waterblock

 - w8 next gen, sell this one and get new card & waterblock

 - give up

 

Personally, I'm giving up as for now, maybe gonna sell it to someone in future builds and get a reference one.

What do u think?

Thanks.

most non-reference 760's don't have custom PCB's as far as I remember. So you can still just add a water block on it. Or check the brand(of the water block) for compatibility. 

 

But as you said it would be quite a waste of money to watercool a card at that level. I would just sell the card and the extra watercooling parts to buy a better card like a 970

As far as I'm in 1080p setup, there's no point of 970 (have dual 960 in watercooled gaming rig). Also this is not a waste of money, 'cause I get those wc parts with a discount (buying 10+ of each for customer's builds).

Anyways - yeah, maybe gonna w8 for next gen.

Check here and see if they have anything going for your specific non-reference card.

Alphacool had, but their solution is out of stock now and they refused to release more when I send them an e-mail.
