While their coolers are great, they add a lot in cost, makes more sense to get the next "bigger" card
that already comes with better cooling, or generic (gpu) aio with similar cost.

Greetings, i bougth an Asus Phoenix 1660Super its a compact GPU and i need to know how to water cooling because always get 86°-88° and the clock its getting down many times till 1910mhz to 1670mhz some times when i use ultra settings or high settings, thanks.
or if you know another way to keep it fresh, i will really appreciate it.

Lot of people here giving you a lot of answers you didn't ask for.
Since graphic cards are hard to get I WC my 1660 ti phoenix. Was it worth it? I dropped the temperature down by more then 40c.
I think if you redo the thermal paste on yours you will see more then a few degrees drop off. The stock cooler on there is not doing you any favors.
I got the bykski WB, and honestly I think the block is gorgeous. It's a full block, it's solid and no leaks. I may have bought the only one though because when I did every website went out of stock and I can't find anyone else that has one.

This is my first WC build, and I didn't want to wait for a new graphic card to practice. It was only $120 for the block. What did I really have to lose?
i7-11700k (I can OC to 5.2Ghz), Z590i Aorus Ultra, 32G Dominator Platinum 3200 Mhz, 1660 ti phoenix, 1x140 hardware labs rad in a push/pull, 1xblack ice micro II, dual 80mm rad in push/pull. 16TB Seagate Exos 16x, 1TB m.2 2280. It's all crammed into a thermaltake core V1.


Next step is to go all copper pipes. I think that would be best. Please don't critique my build, I'm just here to support.
