    I made my graphics card watercooled because I couldn’t fit it in my case with the bigass extra long heatsink. It’s complicated. I used a universal gpu water block, some small heatsinks for the mosfets and vram and thermal glue to hold the heatsinks on but I fucked up because that fucking glue is like 75% as strong as epoxy. Now that I have an actual proper gpu waterblock, I can’t install it because of this shit. I guess the takeaway from this is to not do dumb stuff like I did, so at least you didn’t do that.

    I bought a case with enough GPU clearance, without realising the radiator for a liquid cooling kit I got was much thicker than standard (Arctic Freezer II), so I had to get a new case for that.

    It’s good practise to measure everything with measuring tape, I reckon.
