AIO for GTX 1070TI?

Nevakonaza · 13 Dec 2018 at 23:34

Thinking about getting a AIO for my Gigabyte 1070TI 8G Gaming card.

I've seen you can get those NZXT Kraken adapters then shove a CPU AIO cooler on it,I do have a Corsair H60I V2 lying around somewhere but not sure its compatible with the Kraken because the block is Square not round like on the Kraken.

What AIO cooler would you guys recommend for my 1070TI?

Appreciate any help

I believe the G12 adapter lets you fit NZXT AIO coolers as they have that keyed circular shape. So I'd look at the Kraken series I think

what size rads can your case fit? buy the cheapest asetek gen 4 or 5 based unit from corsair or NZXT.

I'm using a cheap Corsair H55 on my GTX1080ti and temps idle 21c full load/gaming 40c in a Fractal Design Node 840 so workd fine here

@Ross Thomson - In the front i can fit in a 360/240/120 rad,Cant put it on the top or rear because my CPU cooler is HUGE noctua,Although might switch this out to the Corsair H60.

@Mcthommo,Yeah might get one of those,Under load in ring of Elysium im getting 79c on my 1070ti cooler which has 3 fans which i personally dont think is that great tbh considering it has 3x fans,But im more looking to make it quieter than anything because its noisy under load.

120mm down the bottom. you want to exhaust though

Okay so I got a NZXT kraken G12 and a Thermaltake water ring 240 3.0 thanks to overclockers super fast delivery on a Sunday!! Brilliant
Anyway I'm thinking Corsair H60 for Cpu cooling and mount the rad for that on the rear as it's 120mm then have the Thermaltake from the 1070ti rad mounted to the top of the case? Problem is top of my caee has a magnetic cover on the top its so restrictive I'd have to leave that removed if I mounted the 240 rad on the roof of the case.

Use the 240 for the cpu.

I cant because the H60 i have is not compatible with the NZXT kraken G12 bracket.

I'd suggest that the bigger cooler goes on the GPU as it probably uses more energy (so produces more heat) than your CPU.

get one that does fit

So I've noticed that with my gigabyte board that they've put the vrm and power stuff on the other end of the card, not where it's intended to be for the kraken for its fan to actively cool, so do you guys reckon some heatsinks stuck on the vrms and the black boxes next to it will be sufficient?

The small black chips are the MOSFETs that need cooling, I don't believe the big grey inductors need nearly as much but it can't hurt. Is it possible to rig the fan up to blow some air that way?

Nevakonaza · 18 Dec 2018 at 22:31

I suppose i could find a way of hooking up another fan but still think it would probably need a heatsink of some sort :/

The holes are there either side of the mosfets for one of those push down type of heatsinks but i cant see anywhere online that sells them.
