Available GPU liquid coolers for Gigabyte R9 390 G1?

[TheBosnianDragon]

Hello!
I have a question about liquid cooling my GPU. I am planning on getting a Gigabyte made AMD R9 390 G1 graphics card and I just want to know if there are any sealed (pre-made) liquid coolers that would fit this graphics card? I would like to put a liquid cooler on the graphics card because my case is quite closed and airflow is not the greatest but also I want the quieter liquid cooling because I know that GPU fans are really loud more often than not. Also another question is if my 630W PSU can support the liquid cooling for the GPU and CPU alongside all of the other components?
Thank you in advance!

I know corsair and NZXT make some liquid cooling brackets for GPUs, but I dont know if they support G1 gaming series cards. you can check them out:

Thank you so much for the quick response!
I have already checked both Corsair's and NZXT's GPU coolers and they don't seem to have any GPU sealed liquid coolers for the R9 390 series unfortunately. I was wondering if someone knows of any other companies that have these types of coolers for that specific GPU?
Also I would like to ask if it is worth it to try and build a GPU liquid cooling system for that graphics card and how difficult it would be to someone new to setting up liquid cooling systems?

the corsair and nzxt kits are just brackets that you add a cooler into it to cool the GPU, just so you know.

building a fully custom loop has an awesome outcome, but its really expensive, its time consuming, and it has a REALLY low price to performance ration (although price to looks is ten times better compared to without it).
dont waste you're money on a loop unless you are running something like a extreme edition core i7 and 2 high end graphics cards, thats the only place I would recommend a custom loop.

Yeah I have done some research and I have found that it is quite expensive and difficult to create a custom liquid cooling loop but was still wondering would it be worth the trouble if I ever seriously consider making a really high-end PC. As for the GPU coolers I found one GPU liquid cooling kit made by Arctic. It is the Arctic Accelero Hybrid II - 120 and it says it will fit most R9 390 type cards but I'm not sure if it would fit this specific GPU so if you or someone else has any experience with this particular cooler and GPU I would like to know about the compatibility of the two. Anyway I will do allot more research about all of these components before purchasing any of them but I went on here to hear some answers from people more experienced with the matter than me.
Thank you for your answers and time, davidarad02!

saying it fits a 390 does not mean anything. the g1 series is a fully custom PCB, with different mounting holes.

may I know why do you want a water cooler for your card?

Oh, I didn't know it was a fully custom PCB. Then it probably won't fit that specific GPU.
Yes, of course you may know why I would want a liquid cooled graphics card. The thing is that my current case is a NZXT H440 Razer edition and it is quite closed and airflow is not the best. So basically there are two reasons why I would want to get a liquid cooler for my graphics card:
First, it gets really hot where I keep my PC as the ambient temperature of the room rarely drops beneath 29 degrees Celsius (and in summer time goes up to 34 and higher). I have also had lower spec GPU's overheat pretty badly in previous PC builds so I really want to keep it from overheating.
Second reason would be the noise because I know that liquid coolers are much more quiet than standard GPU fans and I keep my PC in the living room so I want to keep noise to a minimum because I often game while other people are around and it has created some unpleasant situations before. Also from what I read in some reviews of the Gigabyte R9 390 G1 is that the fans can get extremely noisy in some situations. And finally I might think of overclocking the GPU some time in the future if I want to so I want to know I can do that without it overheating or making too much noise.

Overall I might be wrong with thinking that I need a liquid cooler for my GPU but I just wanted to know more about these few specific components in case I ever decide on buying them. Anyway I would like your honest opinion on the matter if I need the liquid cooler or not in case I ever overclock the GPU or something else.

well, in that case, I cant think myself of something other then a fully custom loop...
I threw a little list from EK so you know how much is all going to cost if you build a fully custom loop, and It's going to cost around 600 dollars for a fully custom loop, with a GPU block, CPU block, one 360 radiator on the top, resorvior and pump combo unit, fittings, tubing and fans.

Yeah it is really expensive still. I might think of doing that once but for now I'll just focus on getting the new GPU and hope it doesn't overheat. But I think I still might get a sealed CPU liquid cooler just to reduce the noise from the CPU fan which has been quite noisy so far I've used my current setup.
Thank you again for answering almost all of my questions and giving good advice!
The list of components needed for the liquid cooling loop is much appreciated if I ever decide on making that step in PC customization.

Maybe it was just bad luck or something but I have had some pretty bad experiences with Nvidia made graphics cards as at least two of them failed within a year or two (one even sooner) even though I've taken care of them in terms of cooling and never overclocked them. On the other hand I have had a couple of AMD cards for over 6 years and they have never had any problems, so that is why I would trust AMD graphics a bit more.

 

[davidarad02]

in that case, go ahead. get whichever GPU you want (dont be fooled by my profile pic)

Will do so! And please don't think I'm bashing on Nvidia without real cause. They make great GPU's but I was just unfortunate enough to have some bad experiences with them.

 

[davidarad02]

if you had bad experiences, get an AMD card (if you want). there is nothing wrong with them. do they work? yes. do they give the customer great performance? yes. is there any reason that you absolutelly shouldnt get a AMD card? no.

while I prefer nvidia cards, I have nothing against amd.
