full water loop for gpu (not too expensive, uk)

[Arronleeds]

ive been looking at water cooled systems as there are many that look amazing, i have my pc together at the moment with all my new components but now im looking to water cool my gpu, i need some recommendations but don't want to be paying too much, but not too little that its pointless, any help greatly appreciated.

Most water cooling is pointless you will gain marginal performance gains at very expensive cost.

im not really interested in overclocking tbh, i mean i have an msi gtx 970 and i can boost it to around 1450Mhz and the temps go to around 78, im just wanting it to run cooler more than anything.

As a guide, look at xspc kits and find out if your card is reference pcb or not, then find a block for the card

Do you just need a GPU block, or all the parts needed.

im not gonna bother getting a full loop, im just gonna get the kraken g10 and buy another corsair h55 which i use for my cpu and water cool it that way, paulshardware has a video on youtube and he managed to get the r9 290x all the way down from 95 degrees to 50 that's insane.

Just to remind you, the g10 is its own loop. the g10 has its own pump and liquid. If your trying to put the g10 in the h55, It might not work.

the g10 is just a bracket, you have to buy a separate water cooler, i looked it up.

lol, ignore the comment i made before. Then yes, buying the bracket and adding an h55 will work.

it says its compatible with the 970 but then when you click 970 it says unknown lol -_-, to me 78 degrees on load is pretty high, most will disagree but i like my components to last.

50'c on gpu's is too high for me but each to their own hehe,

50 on load is too high for you ? Jeeze what do you have on your gpu

my builds changed a little recently, The big radbox jas gone in favour of a chillerbox and i have a modded fire extinguisher for a third reservoir but 39'c on all three chips playing Crysis3 is normal range for me
