Armor GTX 1060 6gb Water Cooled

[Frankinstyyn]

Hi all,

I'm planning to build a wall mounted PC with an Armor GTX 1060 6gb as the graphics card, see image below.

I want to take the fans off and add a CPU water cooler, image below.

Does anyone know if the size of the GPU cooler will match the size of the CPU cooler?

Also, does anyone have any tips or help? Thanks

Why would you water cool a 1060?

I was thinking the same, pump will be louder than the fans at idle.

Well I guess this would be the debate... Is it really worth it?

I think it would look better for aesthetic reasons, see my photo below of the layout of my build so far.

Use the pump money to get a better card to start with.

Indeed.

Forget the AIO if you don't have it already and get a 1070 that has 0DB mode on idle fans.

It's in the picture so I'm guessing he has.

Okay cool. Thanks for the advice, I've been given my 1060 by a friend, I currently have a r9 280x toxic which is super loud, hence the fans already being bought.

Now I've taken the water cooler out, any ideas on the layout to make up for the massive space left behind?
