Hello, after searching for hours on internet, i couldn't find any reliable aftermarket air cooler, compatible water block or aio, even kraken g12 has compatibility issues with this board.
 
It's kinda sad this gpu doesn't have any way to get better temps with aftermarket stuff, im 30-35°, it's pretty hot here so my gpu is constantly on 80° when i'm gaming.
 
Could someone recommend me a mod, aio, or something that i'm missing to get better cooling? my case has great airflow, cpu is 55° at maximum with aftermarket air cooler, but i can't get the gpu to sit under the 80°, my gpu is a rtx 2060 Ko Ultra :(

Have you looked at universal waterblocks?  Those might work but that's if you're interested in a custom loop instead of a AIO.
 
Also, contact NZXT during business hours to verify if the G12 is compatible or not.

it's known nzxt g12 doesnt work on 2060, they have it on "known issues" section, also i watched a video of someone forcing the g12 onto a 2070 it was just so bad, and my pcb looks exactly the same so i know mine it's not compatible.
 
Universal waterblocks are so expensive, also i searched for a lot of hours and i couldn't find a waterblock advertised as 2060 compatible, seems companies are just making for 2070 and higher end cards.
 
How can i contact evga so they can tellme the exact distance between screw holes of my gpu, i want to check if i can make a custom socket to fit an air cooler or aio.

I would think the ekwb vga supremacy block would work on that.

That's what I was thinking. 
 
Most or some universal blocks will work on your standard GPU but I would make measurements or at least contact the company to verify.  

OP, if a universal block is expensive to you than a custom loop is out of the question and you're only left figuring out a way to figure if there's a AIO solution that exists or just air cooling.  The only ones that I'm aware of as most are is the G12 as a AIO hybrid bracket for the GPU.
 
With that said, give us a list of your PC components including the case, fans, etc. used as maybe we can figure out a way to decrease those temps.

I need to save up money but thanks for the advise.

Here is my pcb imgur. com/gallery/JNNa2Bu it looks exactly the same as the one here youtu. be/VpEIEXxdBhQ?t=464 at 7:45 you can see the issue with the g12 then he just forced it but seems so sketchy and stressful for the pcb.

Then im only left with some mod like this youtu. be/h6hvsqUEtZ4?t=219 you can see he did a custom socket for an air cooler on minute 3:40-3:55.

I have like 12-13cm under my gpu (if i remove the heatsink and fans) so i was thinking on doing this mod imgur. com/gallery/M1fXsV2 but im afraid that air cooler is rated at something like 100tdp and my board is 160 or so. You can see my case, all air is straight front to rear, i tried the top fans as intake and exahust and they made no difference, so i just left there at the lowest rpm to prevent noise.

Also i was thinking about the 'arctic twin turbo ii' i need to check space.

You never want to run the case fans or any fan for that matter at low RPM for low noise when you feel you're having thermal issues.  I personally think 80c for a GPU is fine on air.  90c is another story but you can't have quiet air cooling and low thermals.  It doesn't work that way as you'll have to find a happy medium between the two.

Everytime i do a gpu stress test it goes to 82° but the top fans position (intake or exahust) never make a difference no matter at which rpm they are working:/, not sure what else i should try

My suggestion, in the future, is to save up for a more powerful card with better stock cooling. By the time you have this card in the temperature range you want, you will have spent as much as a 2070, and could have saved a little longer for the better 3 fan cooler.

Most lower tier cards won’t have water blocks because there is no point to paying so much on watercooling or finding a way to fit an AIO, when there are better options available.

Not everyone are experts on these topics, people like me just do a basic research on gpu capacities but not on thermals, it was my bad to think any gpu at this pricepoint is prepared for any type of city, cold or hot, now i know the cons of the "cheap" evga 2060 pricepoint, but thanks for the advise i should be more aware of this since now.
