Okay i currently run a liquid cooled I7 9700k on a corsair h115i in a Enthoo Evolv Itx TG case and also have a MSI RTX 2080 Duke gfx card. What im thinking of doing is get a EK 2080 waterblock and a 240 mm rad, possibly a 240 and a 140 mm rad to cool just the gpu. Anyone think it will be worth it? Going with soft tubing for less stressfull installation.

Sure its running cool enough, but the fans sound like a jet when playing anything gpu intensive.

For the cost and hassle its not really worth it.  I would just adjust the fan curves if possible also takeing the coolers of some refrence cards  can  (A) Void the warranty and (B) Be a utter pain in the ass.  Also if you are looking to add a custom loop thats a hole nother rabbit hole that  can drain your wallet and be more of a hassle then its worth.
