hi , sorry if this question has already been posted or asked by others its my first time here and any help is more then welcome.

my question is is there any water cooling kit for a xfx r9 270x ? my choise is on a close pre-sale kit like the corsair h60 or others like it? 

im putting up a photo of my grafics card for reference since they tend to change the cooler type

i would reccomend you spend the money that you would on a water block and extra tubing and instead you buy a better graphics card

Omega-  I5 6600k | Gigabyte GTX 1060 | Cougar Panzer | DDR4 16GB 3000MHz | MSI Z170 Gaming M5

               EVGA 650 GQ | AOC 60Hz Freesync Panels x2 | AOC 144hz Freesync Panel x1

Epsilon- I7 2700k | Asus GTX 970 | Corsair 780t | DDR3 8GB 1600MHz | EVGA Z68 FTW Mobo

               Corsair 750W G2 | Acer R240HY x2

Upsilon- i7 5500u | 6GB DDR3 | 720p 60Hz panel

Probably, but the money you're going to spend you should have probably spent at a new GPU at that point. Think about it, you can sell your 270X for roughly 80 USD, a kit for watercooling is probably like 100-150 at the very least, so that leaves you with 180-230 USD which you can use to get an R9 380 which performs better than a watercooled 270X with twice as much VRAM.

 

An AIO like the H60 wont work on it either, since that can only cool a CPU/GPU as in the chip alone. It wont cool the VRAM for example (which actual watercoolers for GPU's come with those pads to cool them) and it wont cool the VRMs too.

no real point on watercooling that card, it doesnt have a lot of overclocking headroom and it is fairly cool, I have 2. I would say just keep saving for a new GPU so when you want to upgrade you could get a better GPU than otherwise
