How should I cool my gpu

[TandemCatz]

Hey LTT Forums! I'm here with a question for my soon to be pc build I'm going to have it in a Phanteks enthoo pro case which supports 360mm on top 240 front 240 bottom(although I might need to remove my hdd cage) and 140 back I'm going for a phobya pure performance 360lt for the cpu but still am debating on going or the asus rog strix 3fan or liquid cooling it with a 240 if I am liquid cooling it with a 240 I might add another gpu to the same loop later on pls tell me if I should do it ever since ek bought their new aluminium line up I wanted a Gpu only kit pls help me out guys!

Welcome to the forums.

 

Word of caution. If you do go with EK's new aluminum kit, make sure you are only using other aluminum components in the loop.

 

If you plan on adding a second card to the same loop down the road, either go with a 360 rad now or consider adding another radiator along with the second GPU.

 

Any high end graphics card today comes with a good air cooler.

People go for water-cooling mainly for the looks (and sometimes silence) over the performance gains themselves.

So ask yourself what you want to get out of a water cooling loop for your GPU.

If all you want is some added cooling for potentially more GPU overclocking, I'd say try sticking to air cooling for a while.

You're far more likely to be limited in overclocks by the silicon itself than by thermals. That is, you'll reach a point where the transistors just can't switch any faster without instability long before you reach temps that are too high.
