If your budget is very small, dont go water ... first, what is your case ?
If your over heating its most likely somethign about airflow, dust, or room temp ?

GPU water cooling

Very small but not miniscule. I could technically drop 100-200 dollars or more if I thought it was worth it.
And I think it is a combination of airflow and room temp. My case is in my sig.

There are no quality prebuilt systems for cooling gpus. Coolit makes one, but it's a glorified h50 and doesn't fit every gpu. If you have a small budget then watercooling is out of the question. Watercooling just ur cpu with quality parts that aren't used will be at minimum $300, then another $200+ for ur gpu depending on what it is. If you buy cheap watercooling parts you will end up replacing them. I did that when I started out and learned my lesson. It is better to save then shell out for watercooling parts. Personally I would suggest buying a case with better airflow. That will lower ur temps enough so that you don't have to worry. Buy an antec 1200. Perfect case for aircooling

I can run both prime95 and OCCT fine with no overheating on the CPU when it is just the CPU and RAM. The issue arrises when I try to run these tests at the same time as a graphics test like Furmark. Because this simulates gaming in the most strenuous way possible, it is a good indication for me that I have an overall system overheating problem. During these tests my GTX 275 reaches 90+ C and the CPU reaches it's rated maximum. I am trying to fix this by switching to water cooling for at least the GPU, the cause of the problem, but both if I can. So, what I want to know is are there any GPU only water cooling solutions prebuilt, or mostly built? Or do I have to build it all from scratch? I would also like to keep my options open in regards to CPU cooling, but I haven't been able to find many kits that would let me do this. Also, my budget is very small. Thanks in advance, GA |
