RTX 2080 Custom Cooling

[Linton88]

I've just bought a Gigabyte RTX 2080 Windforce OC card and it was doing an annoying revving thing with the fans which is apparently a known issue.  I updated the firmware but it didn't resolve it.  I got the card at substantial discount, so returning it didn't seem to make much sense.  In order to resolve it, I whipped the fan shroud off and cable tied two 120mm Noctua fans to it... janky isn't the word, but it works surprisingly well and it's way quieter than the stock fans and no hateful revving.

 

I got to thinking that I could put one of those custom heatsinks on the card (I don't want to water cool it for a few different reasons) but I can't seem to find any specifically for the 2080.  There was the Raijintek Morpheus II but it only seems to support the 1080Ti.

 

Anyone using a custom heatsink on these things... or know of one that would be compatible?

 

Thanks <3

LOL i did that for my 970 windforce after the fans broke, works better than the stock fans, iirc thats a reference pcb, so check if any1's used any hybrid cooler designed for the founders edition  (very common) on it
