Corsair H80i GT on a R9 380?

[Oblivion7400]

I wanted to know if it was safe to put a Corsair H80i GT on a R9 380 GPU to make it cooler, quieter and to overclock even more. I was wondering about this ever since I saw the video where Linus put a CPU water cooling unit on a GPU. Thanks if you respond in advance!!

You need to cool the VRM's somehow. I would say get a Kraken G10 for your needs

Whenever you use aftermarket cooling, especially when it's not purpose built for your application it's not safe. There is always a risk involved but the guy that played it safe doesn't end up in history textbooks. Go big or go home

I wouldn't recommend it, you still need to cool the vrms and watercoling a GPU like that is already a risky move

The core *may* stay cooler, but if you try to push your OC farther without cooling the VRMs more you won't get very far. You would need fans blowing on/across the gpu. Depending on your chassis this may already occur, but it depends on your case and if any hard drive cages or cables are in the way, or if it is a small form factor, in which case there is most likely no airflow except for the gpu cooler itself.

 

EDIT: unless you really want to do this as a 'screw it, let's try this' kind of experiment like Linus, I wouldn't bother.
