Hi guys, does it good to water Cool Asus STRIX-R9380X-OC4G-GAMING?

because i have a thought to change the stock cooling to a Water cooling system in a year perhaps. which also make my theme looks cool putting red color on it. :D

There isn't a full cover waterblock for that card as it's usually not worth it to watercool lower end hardware since they don't put out as much heat. If you really wanted to push overclocking or cooling performance you can get an AIO and GPU adapter bracket to get similar results.

Well if you are looking for decent water loop, you will have to pay like 450€ for it at least.

So paying 450€ for water cooling your 200$ worth GPU?

 

I think it would be better for you to invest that money in better components :)

Thank you so much for your advice :). so far as i made my decision, i already ordered MSI Radeon r9 390X with MSI A88xm gaming Mobo. uhmm but unfortunately, the Graphics Card is still to be deliver. but in your opinion does this Grapics card could fit here(please see the picture)

Looks a little close but it should fit since the camera is at an angle in that shot so it looks a little closer than it is.
