how to water cool a Sapphire 270 ?

[sam002fc]

hello i was thinking to replace my Sapphire R9 270 stock dual X fans with an aftermarket Cooler master Seidon 120V can i do it with that gpu :/ will the memory chips around the gpu will be any issue :/
any help will be appreciated
actually my 270 tends to run a bit hot in summer around 75 peak and 37 to 39 at idle and on winter it runs roughly couple of degrees cool :/ though so a aftermarket ghetto aio cooler how would it play ???

75 is perfectly fine. Water cooling offers almost no benefits over air. And especially on a midrange GPU with a hacked solution.

In short, a huge waste of time and money that would fail to solve a non-existent problem

No, you cannot. The Seidon is a CPU all in one cooler, not meant for use on a graphics card and not compatible with GPU card water blocks.

Besides which, 75°C is not out of spec for the R9 270 and further, unless you're overclocking that card beyond what it should be able to handle, it doesn't need or benefit from liquid cooling. It's performance could never warrant the addition or purchase of a card specific cooler either. For the price of suitable cooling you could purchase a better card and gain performance in the proper way.

thanks bruh 😀
for cleaning out the fog for me :/ it was silly of me to think that 75 is a lot :/ but actually its perfectly fine and yes i oced it to 1100/1570 but 1090/1500 works fine under 100% load it surpasses 75 and gets to 76 but not reaches 80 btw , the card is 2 years old though :/

Those temps are well within limits.
