Hello there,

So I'm mostly a gamer and about to build a new rig, and was playing with the idea of getting a corsair cooler for my cpu and buying a gpu with a hybrid cooler. Now this is my first time ever attempting to liquid cool a system and was looking for some thought or guidance or even if it's worth it to get a hybrid gpu.

Thanks ☺

Hybrid gpu might run a bit cooler and clock better. But high end gpu line like aorus, amp extreme, Strix oc also come oc'ed pretty good.
But if you are going with liquid cooled gpu, u might as well as look into models like the gigabyte waterforce or Zotac artic mini series. U require an expandable cooler like the fractal define Celsius s36 or alphacool eisbaer 360. I suggest the 360 variants cuz only they have sufficient headroom to cool both cpu and gpu.
