Amd R9 295x2 radiator size

[Skavikeng]

Hi guys !
Im new here, so be gentle !
I picked up a Amd R9 295x2 from my father who had two of them in quad crossfire
Got a nice price 350$ for a single card from him. But i think it runs to hot.
I would love to put it in a custom loop, but finding an all cover waterblock and backplate is really hard since its an "old" card.. so no one has in stock.

Does anyone know if the pumps on the AIO hybrid cooler can support a 280 rad ?
Since a block is so hard to find, i am thinking about giving it a larger rad to dissipate some of that heat. My worries thou is that the stock pumps in the AIO would not support a larger rad with more water pressure.

Your better off leaving it as it is. Add some better fans, use it as intakes etc.

If you have a search around, your bound to find a block for it. Either way, DONT mod the original cooling.
