Cooling a mini ITX setup... assistance required!
Cooling a mini ITX setup... assistance required!
Yes, that's the same pump I'm using in my res combo. They produce full cover blocks for 1070 models...though there aren't as many as for 1080s. However, they do exist. I understand they are available, but if you check my card, you'll notice it has a smaller PCB than others, requiring a custom block which isn't offered for this card.
i thought you mentioned your 1070 was reference? actually i meant reference clocks... or stock clocks. i own a gigabyte 1070 mini oc. that's why i'm struggling to find a waterblock, no one supports this size.
Oh, OK. Yeah, looks like you'll have to use a universal block and RAM sinks on the VRMs and Mosfets on the card.
Copper or aluminum works just fine. The block shouldn't affect where these parts go because they aren't placed directly under it. You may need to look for other sizes... and remember to include the RAM modules too.
Bringing in some extra airflow will also make a big difference since there isn't a complete cover block.

Direct airflow across these items will be very beneficial since there isn't a full cover block.
There will be a 120mm Noctua fan blowing straight onto the card... but I'm concerned it might not help much, given I have four exhaust fans and one intake fan... almost forming a vacuum effect.
Your situation isn't completely sealed, so as long as there are open vents, air movement will continue through the case. Nonetheless, there remain spots where air can circulate and pass through panels and folds.
