Which fittings are better for the work?

Hard or soft tubing?

Qdc are for soft tubing. If that’s what you’re asking.

Will a qdc be safe for gpus? They are designed to be used, doesn’t matter what component is in the loop.

Mick Naughty is correct they are meant for soft tube,  but if you get the right ones there's no stopping you if you have the right plan/idea

As mentioned QDC will work anywhere in the loop if integrated correctly. If you have a set before and after the GPU that would be good if you plan to install and remove it often from the system or swap it with another watercooled unit.

If your starting off a kit isn't a bad place to get into things, all it would need is an addition block for the GPU and fittings including the QDC if you wanted to integrate that into place. I usually recommend the P series kits, for a middle ground the Fluid gaming series (all aluminum) are an affordable option to get into liquid cooling.

EKWB will be your best option for full cover waterblocks as they have some of the largest selections including AMD blocks. If you plan to watercool you need to ensure you have a compatible block, usually reference designed GPU's are your best options since they will be guaranteed a waterblock over non-reference designs.

 

Some other options such as Heatkiller, Phanteks, and Aquacomputer also have some more varied sections of full cover copper blocks.

that would work but i have no idea how to tell if my gpu is a refference or not. i may have a good collection but im super paranoid.

ekwb doesnt have the block for the rx 580 from xfx

You can check here, be sure it is your specific serial number and card revision.

Usually you need to preplan the hardware to ensure there is compatibility. You can always sell the 580 in exchange to offset the cost for a card that has a full cover block.

There is one other option which are universal blocks or to go with an AIO cooling solution with adapter brackets.

that is true.

what can you recommend for cooling the vrms and mosfets?

Generally some small heatsinks with thermal tape for the VRAM is enough, larger heatsinks that span the whole VRM are sometimes already on the card or a midplate. If there are none most times you can get short lengths of heatsink extrusion to install over them.
