Water Cooling help

[BetOnTheHouse]

I am trying to water cool my Asus STRIX-R9390-DC3OC-8GD5-GAMING and was wondering does anyone know any good water blocks to use for this graphics card?

I found this one, https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc-r9-390x-tf5-nickel. Do you think this will work?

Okay, I searched up Asus Strix R9 390 water block and I found this one, I never heard of the company. What is your opinion on it?

looks like a cheap knock-off product to me. i never heard of the brand either. 

i wouldn;t trust that thing filled with fluids inside my expensive pc! if you want good watercooling, go for the reputable brands (EKWB, Bitspower, Alphacool, etc)

Okay, I can't find any waterblocks that support this GPU. Do you guys see any?

Imo if you are going the custom watercooling route, do it properly or don't do it at all.

 

So if you want a waterblock, get one from a decent brand like EKWB as said above, they have a good rep.

 

edit: alphacool actually makes one!

I want to hard pipe my whole system but one problem I am facing is this, I don't know how to watercool my GPU.

damnit, you beat me to it. 

 

but yeah, that does seem to be the only block made by a reputable brand for that card of yours. it's really not that expensive either!

There is one problem with this one, it only water cools that one part and the rest it just heat sinks.

I wouldn't worry about it, the base of the watercooling part makes good contact with the massive heatsink.

So i'm sure the heat of the heatsink will reach the water, metal is very good in spreading heat around so i don't expect a big temp difference between the gpu baseplate and the rest of the heatsink.

What is the difference between these 4? Which one should I buy?
