[SOLVED] Can I install/attach an AIO CPU cooler to my GPU for better cooling?

[barkersofgeraldine]

Hey team, so I was thinking of ways to better cool my r9 390x

One (stupid) way I came up with was sticking a regular AIO cooler onto the GPU

I'm sure there is an amazing and logical answer why this is not possible, but I am having a hard time understanding it - someone please help me understand

See, all AIOs come with different mounting brackets (Intel: LGA 2066 / 2011-v3 / 2011 / 1366 / 115× / 1200; AMD: AM4 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2 / FM2+ / FM2 / FM1), surely one of those brackets will perfectly size up to the holes on my GPU that will allow me to attach it right?????

(My question is about mounting the AIO to the GPU solely; let's ignore the other parts for the mean time, like cooling for vram etc etc..)

If that's the route you want to go they actually sell GPU AIO kits just for that.
