AIO your gpu?

[Walt]

Hi everyone,

Sometimes I see people having an AIO cooler installed on their GPU. I was wondering how does this work? and what are the positive things about it? 

Is it possible to do it on my gpu? MSi armor gtx 1070? and how much will it cost?

Thanks!

Do you put a normal AIO (for cpu) on a GPU?

It's like a liquid cooler but for your gpu some coolers are meant for CPU but people stickem on gpu price can be 100-300 for wot I found

Precisely!

 

It's a costum, not custum, watercooled loop! Simple right?

Yes you take like a H60 and the NZXT G12 bracket and that's it. Not the prettiest but performance will be much better and quieter.

Really doesn't matter at all. They are all the same really just different branding

Thanks!

you attach an AIO on the GPU die + VRAM stacks, then have a blower or some other fan cooling the VRMs, mosfets, etc. 

 

for pascal, not that much. an AIO obviously reduces temps, which boosts effectiveness of gpu boost 3.0, but not much else. it doesn't extend the overclock ceiling.

i think you will find its spell custom

 

but temps will be very much improved, atleast 20c, is it worth it? depends.

Any things I need to pay attention to when buying? Like socket etc...

first you'll have to check whether your PCB is reference. or to save some headaches ask MSI. i think they have their own AIO kit for DIY adventurers for their cards

I know the PCB of the Gtx 1070 MSI armor (the one I got) is not a reference design...
