I've seen water cooling loops that go thru both the GPU and CPU and with the 5 series coming in October/November, I'm wondering if there are any guidelines for GPU cooling. Like, is it even necessary at all/will it be necessary with the series 5? If it is needed, then what would be the best way to go about it without spending a ton of extra cash?
Or is dedicated GPU cooling something that doesn't really matter for any graphics card? I currently have a 3070 and that sucker gets pretty hot, but it's never triggered a shut down and I don't have any dedicated cooling for it, so I might just be being paranoid. I'm planning to build my own PC for the first time either in a couple of weeks or in November, pending how long my current PC can survive and I don't want to make any cooling mistakes that could harm my new pc.
