Hello, I am looking to water cool my entire gaming computer due to high temperatures from my RTX 2080 Ti. These are are components now: 

 

 

Gaming for a long time (more then 8 hours) gives me temps of 55 c on the cpu at 5.1MHz at 1.32 volts and 66 c on the GPU. The GPU is not overclocked at this time. I was wanting to know if a kit like this EK FLUID GAMING A360G would work with a water block that I have already ordered from EVGA, EVGA HYDRO COPPER Waterblock for EVGA / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, XC / XC ULTRA / XC2 / FE, 400-HC-1389-B1, RGB. I have search on the internet and found numerous videos stating not to mix metals. The EK kit is full aluminum and the EVGA block is nickel-plated copper. If this will work great but if it will not, could you recommend a water cooling kit that I would be able to use with the GPU block. I would like to start with soft tubing for now as this will be my first try at water cooling an entire system on one loop.

you're 20c below where you would start considering water cooling

So water cooling my GPU would be useless?

Isn’t unless, can get better temps, more performance and less noise depending on the build. 

 

Isn’t bad temps at all though. More of a noise thing for me now.
