Can Low Profile Graphics Card liquid cooled?

BigBig5 · Mar 14, 2012

I am thinking of building a HTPC/Gaming computer that is small.
My question is can Low Profile Graphics Cards be liquid cooled with a water block like with a universal one?

I don't know why not? The "Low Profile" is the stock cooler. The card underneath is generally the same as other cards of the same family with dual slot coolers.

I think you're mixing up singleslot and low profile there bud.

Still stands. The layout of the board is generally still the same unless it is some non reference model.

if the cooler mounting is standard i guess you could make it water cooled
low profile card is about the height but the mounting is same

yes but it would be CORE only, the rest would need other heatsinks

Check the swiftech mcw60. It will fit any g92, gt200 (adapter required) and fermi (adapter). The ati compatibility is also good, but i've only fitted it to nvidia gpu's. Also very small. Don't forget memory and/or vrm heatsink if needed.
