So I saw a video on using this to cool my Gigabyte GTX 1070 g1. I am concerned regarding a few things about the product's performance and quality. After clicking on the link to look at the price I expected to it be around 100 dollars but it was 30 dollars. I want to know if that price would be concerning due to quality and if this would perform well in cooling my GPU and reducing noise (I'm mainly looking at noise reduction).

Note that is only the bracket itself not the AIO solution as a whole.

Oh, that makes sense now. What would be a good rad size or all-in-one for a GPU?

 

140mm is more than enough

 

Watch the JayzTwoCents vid. he got like 45c on a 140mm rad.

A single 120mm or 140mm would be enough for a GPU, you could try using a dual rad one but it would be more than necessary.

So the bracket is compatible with a lot of liquid coolers so I don't have to worry about it not being compatible? Also, you say a 140mm would be fine for temps but if I wanted to run it hotter for less fan speed would that still work (I'm mostly going for acustics)? 

Can someone recommend me a model for 140mm all in one?

thanks

Basically you could go large but at that point it would solely be for silence at that point. The X41 would be a good option on the GPU with the long tubes.
