Just because case specs say "360mm of gpu clearance", that does not mean "comfortably" or "you won't have to disassemble everything around it". (lemmy.world)

I made my graphics card watercooled because I couldn't fit it in my case with the bigass extra long heatsink. It's complicated. I used a universal gpu water block, some small heatsinks for the mosfets and vram and thermal glue to hold the heatsinks on but I fucked up because that fucking glue is like 75% as strong as epoxy. Now that I have an actual proper gpu waterblock, I can't install it because of this shit. I guess the takeaway from this is to not do dumb stuff like I did, so at least you didn't do that.
