AIO Gpu Cooler mod

Hi Guys,

 

I have seen people do a AIO cooler on a gpu mod and was wondering if i could fit that around my 590. As i want to put my whole PC on water but can't get a water block for my GPU and don't want to upgrade my GPU im trying this.

 

Example: The classic AIO Nvidia 480 mod (I almost did this with my 480 :) )

Here is the PCB of my card (Nvidia 590) which is a dual GPU card meaning i wold have to have ether 2 modded cpu blocks or 2 aio units modded onto each card.

NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-590-Exposed-PCB-LG.jp

The complications are thus,

1. Look the the mounting holes, they speak for them selfs

2. The tubing on aio coolers reaching around each other and on my case

3. The cost of each option, 2 CPU block and more tubing £70+ 2, 2 crappy 120mm AIO's £100

4. Cooling the VRM's, take a normal high end card (280x), measure the heat from the vrms and their efficiency......now times that number by 1000.... the VRM's  on these cards are immense, Nvidia locked the Voltage on the bios because this happens if you touch the voltage ↓       , so they need to be cooled well. Not just general air flow but a small copper heat sink or something.

 

So any ideas?

 

Thanks

Codfish :)

It's possible as long as you can make a bracket with mounting holes to properly hold the block down to the die. The zip tie method does work also just sometimes it lack the mounting pressure required and can cause bad temps.
