Water Cool RTX 2080 ROG Strix

[Cameron Lister]

I’m building a new pc in the next month or 2 and I’m planning to water cool it at a later date, as I currently unable to use the equipment I would need. I’m planing to get the ROG Strix variant of the RTX 2080, will I be able to water cool it and what part would I need, thanks for any help.

EK will probably release a waterblock for it eventually.

takes a while for EK to get a block out because there are loads of varied complications. There will be one out eventually just hang on.

Thanks, I’m in no rush to water cool so that sounds good

Don't buy a custom PCB version if you want to waterblock it.  The custom PCBs don't make a difference for performance anyways.

You'll end up overpaying for a card that will be harder to water cool and gain 0 benefit. Pickup an nvidia version founders card. They overclock extremely well, the stock cooler pretty much gets you as close to water cooled boosts as any of the other cards, and the fans are not noisy at all. Plus water blocks already exists in a plethora form for them.
