Did anyone ever use water cooler as RIG cooler?
I think the water cooler can lower your GPU temperature by about 10 oC.
But I have not tried it because the price is expensive.

I had initially thought of it, it's no so much the price as the hassle when you need to troubleshoot or when you have to RMA a GPU. Not mentionning the potential dangers of having water around a bunch of rigs...I'd rather avoid it
Air conditioning is always the best way to go. But actually the only really essential thing you need to do is undervolt.
Undervolting effectively cools down your GPUs without much impact to hashrate.

Yes but you can only undervolt so much until it becomes unstable or you lose too much hashes. It is definitely important to undervolt, but having some good airflow where you store your rigs is just as critical. I've had 2 RX470 that have been hashing for about a year that eventually gave up on me in one month. They were undervolted but it became difficult to keep the room temperature low enough.
Also, do not store anything that has no use in your mining cave. Everything gets hot in a room and eventually acts like a heater because of the inertia.
