Watercooling Confusion

[Big Value Bacon]

Hey there guys, kind of confused right now and I'm just wondering if someone could explain this for me.

I bought my computer a month or two ago now from PC Specialist and have downloaded all my games and other necessities.
While playing a couple games I've noticed my GPU hitting 70-75 degrees and thought that it was a very strange. From what I've been told, hitting even 60 degrees would be rather difficult with water cooling installed (the games were only simple things like Cubeworld / DayZ).

I've since opened up my computer and have seen that the water cooling isn't attached to my GPU, only the CPU. Surely there's something wrong there, right?
It's rather evident that when I ordered this PC to come with a gaming case / high end GPU etc, that it'd be used for gaming and therefore, would it not have been obvious for whoever built the PC to have had the GPU be watercooled as well?
I'm just wondering now why the watercooling wasn't attached to it and whether or not there's any way to remedy this.

Thanks in advance

There is nothing wrong, the h80i is for the cpu cooler and it is clearly indicated in the configurator as well.

It's rather evident that when I ordered this PC to come with a gaming case / high end GPU etc, that it'd be used for gaming and therefore, would it not have been obvious for whoever built the PC to have had the GPU be watercooled as well?

I don't think it is obvious. A watercooled GPU is significantly more expensive, the only way to remedy that if you wish to watercooled your gpu is to do it yourself but that would void the warranty since you will need to replace the GPU cooler and install a radiator.
The temperatures you are indicating are not high at all, you could try increasing the fan speed to decrease them.

I see, that answer solves everything in that case. It's my own fault for not researching properly, I apologize if I came off a bit strongly with my post. Thank you very much, I appreciate the help. +1 Rep

I'm a little bit surprised that your GPU is reaching those temperatures, Do you have the card overclocked to it's limits. Nvidia cards are renowned for running at quite cool temperatures. I have a GTX780 and that rarely exceeds 60 degrees but I never overclock, it as I haven't needed to. If you are concerned maybe give PC Specialist a call.
Maybe check out a few reviews on the card as well to find out what temperatures it runs at.

Just a note, there are no problems with a graphics card hitting 70-80 degrees under load. They obviously shouldn't idle that hot but they are designed to run warm (even the Nvidia cards which run comparatively cooler than the AMD cards) so I wouldn't worry about the slightly increased temperatures.

Something that might be worth checking is whether the other components in your rig are also getting warm, perhaps you've got a hot-spot within your rig or something is restricting airflow around the case (the Haf-X is huge so that's unlikely). Is it in a enclosed space or under a small desk?
