    Can’t you underclock it using MSI afterburner, so it’ll run cooler?

      Sure! But my buddy had thrown away the stock cooling system and just gave me the card with the custom water block on it…

        Well, even underclocking it won’t make it run that cool. Sounds like a radiator & pump and tubing might be cheaper than buying a dead card and cannibalizing.

        Or you could always try to sell it and get a newer card

          Yeah, just a whole lot of expenses going out right now. So even £150-200 is off the books for me atm
