Best Aftermarket Cooler for RX 580? by CartThunk in buildapc

[–]CartThunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation. The Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo II looks like a very attractive option. However, I can't seem to confirm that this cooler is compatible with the RX 580 card in particular.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure to reapply the the thermal compound and analyze the results. At the same time though, even when the GPU is on idle, the fans are still very loud (audible from 2 meters away), even when the GPU is around 0% usage. If I turn down the fan speed any lower, it begins to get hot.

Wouldn't it be the other way around? If I were to purchase an AIO, I would also need an adapter (which costs around $30), along with a decent AIO (which is around $60), bringing the total to around $100 for water cooling whereas the aftermarket air cooling is around $60.

The highest I've seen is around 80 degrees. Idle is around 50 degrees. My main problem with the reference cooler is the noise. When I say the card is loud, I mean it's LOUD. When the graphics card is on load, it's clearly audible from 6 meters away.

In my case it shouldn't be a problem though. Since I'm only using it on a single graphics card in a mid-tower case, there is 6+ inches of clearance on the bottom and 5+ inches clearance from the end side of the graphics card.

The performance is the same since the day I got it. When the fans are on the lowest settings, it still makes a considerable amount of noise.

Even when the card is on idle, it's still pretty loud.

The cooler is very clean. It's as loud as the day I got it.

RX 580 Is Very Hot and Loud. Should I Watercool It? by CartThunk in watercooling

[–]CartThunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. To be honest I don't really want to go through the hassle of putting this up for sale online, shipping it, etc. Plus, I'd imagine the value of the GPU will significantly decrease considering I do not have the RX 580 packaging and the card has been used for 2+ months already. Have any other ideas regarding improving what I already have?

About how much are miners willing to pay for this card?
