One more reason to prefer fanless GPU coolers. My 1070 is my first card since 2007 to use a fan (three in fact).

Should be fine. I’ve ‘fixed’/’upgraded’ GPUs like that in the past and they continued to work for years afterwards. It was at least a decade ago though.

You’re right, water cooling for the win!

it’s a GT630 and the fan started grumbling until it went into thermal shutdown at 106C according to my phone

Heh, I was more along the lines of:
Whatever works though.
I’m planning on building a new machine when I get back from vacation, and whether to do water or air cooling is probably the biggest thing still up in the air.

“I decided this weekend to try and quieten my PC by following some other members lead and going down the water cooling road. The fans on my PC were really starting to drive me mad:mad:
The first thing that I did was to remove all the fans. The one on the processor and graphics card were no problem but the one in the power unit was a bugger to get out.
The most difficult part was sealing all the ventilitation openings in the PC case with silicon. I also put silicon all around the joints on the PC case. The smell of silicon was dreadful but when my wife complained I told her to be patent as it will be worth it when we have a completely silent PC.
Because I had completely sealed the PC case the only opening near top was the DVD drive. So I opened that and put the small hose I had purchased specially for the job into the DVD drive as far as it would go. With what I can only describe as great excitement and anticipation, I turned on the water. It really is amazing just how long it took before the case was complete full, and boy was it heavy. That didn’t really bother me as I didn’t intend to be moving the PC anyway.
The big moment had arrived so I called in my wife and mother in law (who was visiting) and I announced “prepare to hear nothing!” and flicked the switch on the socket on the wall.
Before I could even press the power button on front of the PC, with a loud bang, the whole place was plunged into darkness
I knew that it was only the tripswitch so I told my onlookers not to panic and I ran out to the hall to turn the trip switch back on. But can u believe it, it wouldn’t stay on. After five attempts I decided to try unplugging the PC and would you believe...yes the trip switch stayed on. My conclusion: the PC must have in some way been causing the problem.
After about an hour of tries I finally decided to abandon the whole idea of water cooling and emptied the water out of the PC, put back in the fans (except the fan in the power unit, I had broken that one getting it out) and tried the pc AGAIN. IT STILL CAUSED THE TRIP SWTICH TO BLOW!
My PC is completely shagged thanks to stupid suggestions that I got on this forum. What the hell am I going to do now. I spent two hours last night with a hair drier inside the PC case and it still trips the switch.:mad: :mad: :mad:
Any suggestions greatly appreciated
Conor”

That’s not nearly questionable enough by my standards!

Oh, I know! This one manages to perform the original part’s function, likely exceeds its performance, and has little chance of killing its operator.

This is almost up there with the “Bike won’t start after using NOS fuel additive” thread.

IMO, only do water cooling if you really need the extra cooling or if you want to have the cool look of a custom cooling loop. And if you’re doing it for the former, get a well reviewed AIO and call it a day. :)

Well clearly his mistake was not using deionized water.
