Hello, modders,
Want to ask anyone here using NZXT G12 adaptor to pair with AIO for GFX card cooling?
Mind share actual result?
My issue is that I'm using R9 290, but the noise level too high for the std gfx fan...
Am planning to use my CPU cooler now Corsair H80i V2 to pair it with NZXT G12 adaptor... and get a Kraken X72 / Corsair H150i 360mm cooler for my CPU
Changing this would cost me ~RM1k
Or should I just change to 2060 Super ( ~RM1.6k ) straight... which card has the 'lowest noise'...
FYI my setup is i7600k (O/C to 4.7GHz stable)
ATI R9 290 (no o/c)
ASUS ROG Z270F
Corsair 16GB DDR4 3200 Mhz

Nothing beats real watercooling Add extra RM500 from that RM1K budget you can get full Bykski watercooling with hard tubing But if you really insist on AIO, why not just get this: http://www.idcooling.com/Product/detail/id...CEKIMO%20240VGAOnly RM345 in Shopee https://shopee.com.my/ID-Cooling-ICEKIMO-24...7405.2693205656

btw... i think i will have problem mounting this if the hose is not long enough..
im using super big/tall CM HAF-X casing
the only way to mount 240mm rad is to the top casing... and this is full tower.. not sure the tubing can reash
