Help choosing waterblock

[OVERCLOCK]

Hello friends, I am a budget pc builder , I'm into case modding and stuff so I sell some pretty sick stuff, lately it's i7 4820k with rx570- I charge 200 for this build which i think is pretty good and will do 1080p ok, it helps my fellow gamers and let's me flip them easily and continue my hobby, anyways I get a bit creative to hit these price points and supply my rigs cheaper than others can so I recently purchased a gtx 1070 for 75 dollars with the catch is everything works but the fan, I do this alot- buying old mined cards with worn fans then slap a waterblock on it, but this 1070 came out of an hp, it's a blower style cooler made by foxconn I think? Does anyone know if this will fit a reference waterblock as that's the fix for this card , or any reccomendations on another cooling solution, I have an adapter i made n I can run the fan by plugging it into the mobo and if your the kid without a lot of money even as ghetto as it is it's still a 1070 but really a waterblock would be best and a full custom loop since that's pretty much the next step up, my 200 dollar rig comes with a 240 aio right now as one manufacturer recently put one on sale for 20 bux, so really a waterblock for cpu is the same cost, just got factor in the other components so 300ish for a watercooled 1070 isn't bad and I'm certain that stock cooler is gonna suck so it's prob my best bet I think as I'm not really confident that card will last , heat is bad for pc parts

Why do water on such a weak system?
Why not just buy something like one of Arctics GPU heatsinks, for like ~30 quid?

Thought had crossed my mind, but why do water on anything? The performance gain is somewhat negligible for what u spend, and an aio would do the same thing, it's mainly just for looks, and it can be pretty cheap nowadays too, most ppl won't recommend these cheap pumps n such but companies like thermaltake get Chinese companies to make their stuff so some are ok, I'm watercooling a 75 dollar gtx 1070 so a 20 dollar pump is fine, I've had one running strong for like 3 years now 24/7 , if it breaks it's not taking out anything amazing, but yea an arctic or something has crossed my mind, I'm a bit worried about cooling on the ram tho, it'll be here in a few days and I'll b able to look at it closer, I'm wondering if that blower cooler contacts the ram chips, I may even just be able to fit one of the cheap 240mm aio I got new for only 20 bux each, I'm tossing up ideas still

Bet any reference 1070 block would work but would buy from a place that offer full refund like Amazon, you could also do a NZXT Kraken G12 or just buy a aftermarket air cooler and move on

Because for a cheaper price, you can buy an AIR COOLER, have NO point of failure other than a fan, and have it cool the same.

And, water cooling loops are better, much better, if you 'go big' with them. Any normal sized loop is going to be about on par with an AIO, or marginally better.
Because you're getting similar cooling potential.
With a larger loop, you're getting a much cooler CPU because you're increasing surface area of cooling.

If you're set on getting a waterblock for it I'd recommend waiting till you get the card, then use EK's cooling configurator to visually confirm the card you have is reference. The OEM manufacturers like HP are so large that they can design their own pcbs to suit their builds.
