Make me cold

Will going aftermarket on a gpu cooler be beneficial? I have the 1070 g1 by Gigabyte and the 3 turbines are to loud for my liking. So without a ghetto cpu cooler on it what are my options? er are there any good options?

NZXT and Corsair make brackets to mount AIOs to a GPU.

There aren't really any good aftermarket GPU air coolers.

You could take the shroud off and zip tie your own fans on, that would work best.

i have a 120mm fan blowing on it, but ill try the shroud thing, but idk if itll mess with the logo and some of the LEDs

You say your fans are loud, but what temperature is the GPU running at? Also, what kind of fan profile are you using, what case are you using and how is the airflow in the case?

It is possible that your issue can be solved without any modification to the video card.

you were right my friend! But a bit late to catch the worm. Turns out the thermal paste i had on there didnt cover the chip all the way, so it was at 75c and now that its applied properly its down to 60c... Oops... (btw stock fan curve and its under volted rn by 55mhz but that shall change soon )

You had opened the card and applied your own thermal paste before?

Yeah i had the NZXT bracket on it with an AIO, was running around 135f but im buying the soon to be released T812 case by Geeek (http://www.geeekstore.com/shop/geeek-t812-atx-case/) and the rad wont fit with my configuration so back to stock cooler for now
