Anyone got any recommendations for a really cheap GPU watercooler? My 270X runs WAY to hot for a 270X, and I would like to fix it. Plus I plan to move it to the bottom slot where it will be getting almost no airflow (For F@H). I was thinking that NZXT thing but I need a good watercooler to go with it. Needs to be 120mm. Preferrably black tubes. Needs to have a SUPER slim block (Clearance issues). I woudl like to spend no more than $70 (total on everything). I also probably need a way to cool VRMS and stuff too. Thanks

Honestly, you should just keep that 70 sell your 270x and get an RX470 or save like 40-50 bucks and get an RX480

80C under load at stock voltage and a 100Mhz OC. 78C at stock everything. Fans at 100%

Have you tried cleaning out any possible dust buildup?

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.

Something is wrong with your airflow...70C max with 20% fan with 1305MHZ on my 270X.

I mean my CPU radiator is in the front of the case but 1. It didn't do that a few months ago

2. This is without CPU load with HW monitor reporting about room temperature (push/pull watercool config)

There isn't any. Already taken the cooler off and redid thermal paste

what case do you have and how many fans 

Nzxt h440 with 2 NF-F12's in the front (radiator) and 2 Antec Fans from a old machine (behind the radiator) for a push pull. Those are in the front of the case with a stock NZXT fan in the bottom slot and the other 2 fans directly above the cpu cooler trying to get heat out as fast as possible, rear fan never moved
