How to watercool GPU if there isn't a specifc waterblock for it.

[francescoperna90]

Hi,

Like the title says I'm having problems in watercooling my gpu.

I've got an asus strix gtx 970. EK waterblock for this gpu has reached EOL.

The one made by alphacool are really ugly.

Only the one by bitspower is a valuable choice ( but I don't know where and how buy it ).

So the question is simple.

I would like to buy an universal vga waterblock made by ek. But this block doesn't cool vrams.

Is there a way to also watercool vrams ( I saw that ek sells vrams heatsinks ) ?

Thank you very much

You're in the EU, mate, try Watercooling or Aquatuning, I know Aquatuning ships across the EU, because I've bought parts off them before and I'm in the UK, not sure about Watercooling, though.

I'll check it ! But I don't know if I'll find anything !

Do you know if ram heatsinks are good to cool vrams ?

usually you get the vram heatsinks for the model of gpu in a kit that way get right size and amount of them

Nothing for my gpu. Only on the highflow.nl I found they sell bitspower and they have one.

So I guess I have to find a bitspower online retailer
