RX590 Water Cooling

[edamr]

Hi all,

I'm just generally looking at watercooling out of interest and weighing up if its a viable option - my RX590 runs at 80c under load which is 'safe' of course, but at the high end. Would be good to bring that down to extend longevity. I just do 1080p so hope for the card to last a while.

I was looking at AIO CPU coolers which appear straightforward. However GPU cooling seems to be a bit more complex.

Would this https://www.nzxt.com/products/kraken-g12-white combined with https://www.nzxt.com/products/kraken-x42 be workable?



Cheers

The G12 apparently fits the 590 so why not. I've used the G10 a number of times with various Nvidia cards with no problems. The AIO model works really well so it's just about picking an AIO that fits in your case. I'd recommend going for something bigger than the 42 though. Get a 280mm or 240mm if it will fit.

By the way, if new is too dear it's very easy to find AIO used.

g12 will fit but your card needs to have the VRM on the right of the die for the fan to cool it.
