SO, why no easy AIO cooler for GPU.....

[Disk_wizard_Chris]

Hey guys, ive never been 1 for Watercooling or messing around with this stuff, so on my recent build (saved for 3 years for) i decided to go with an AOI watercooler block for my CPU 8086k, Temps are great however i paired with this with an MSI 1080 GTX Aero, this card runs hot as hell hitting max temp within 2 mins of load, throttling its self without even being overclocked. so it got me thinking is there a closed loop AIO that would easily just snap onto a GFX card without me having to worry about the full shebang watercooling..... basicaly the only answer i could find was NO, there are some NZXT CPU AIO conversion plates but they do nothing at all for the memory and Vram, or Litterly nothing at all... i have no answer for an Easy fix..... please enlighten me. Thanks.

Yes EVGA usually offer a couple of cards with reference boards, typically the SC and SSC cards. But lots of other manufacturers offer reference boards too! I'm pretty sure the Aero is one.

While it's good to be concerned about the VRM cooling, look at your CPU AIO cooler. Is it cooling the motherboard VRMs? Apply a little bit of common sense, read some reviews, ideally for your exact card (reference GTX 1080 in this case). The Kraken and Corsair kits should do the job if you're very keen for AIOs.

But first I'd check if your card is behaving ok, it sounds like it's getting a bit hot a bit quick. Is the fan curve ok? Is the cooler mounted right?

What do you define as max temp and what is throttling clock speed?

Its throttling at 83(temp limit) degrees to around 1700 clock speed. before it hits max temp it runs at 1880 ish. the fan curve i have adjusted abit but i canot bare to listen to it at 100% i have it at 90% @ my temp limit. i have not done anything to the cooler from stock so i assume its fitted correctly.. it seems a lot of people suggest the g12 and not to worry about the RAM if someone can ensure me that the MSI 1080 GTX Aero is compatable with this ill probably buy the G12 + compatable AIO cooler. And thanks for all the replys!
