Mixing cooling parts companies

My 1080ti keeps on overheating, so I was wondering could I mix some Bykski products with corsair as they dont offer a 1080ti waterblock for MSI. Would there by any compatibility issues?

I am guessing you are talking about the Corsair open loop stuff? As long as it is a copper or nickel plated copper heatsink, you should not run into any issues. Their GPU blocks look a lot like EK blocks to me. AFAIK Corsair is also using EK blocks with some modifications.

Blocks are compatible with PCB layouts, if a block works on your cards PCB, then the fittings are going to be industry standard.  Just ensure you have a terminal for your block included - and its the terminal that will then have the G1/4 threading needed to put this into any other typical loops parts.

 

EDIT - I could go into making sure the metals are correct, but I mix metals and use Antifreeze on my loops so those things are not on my personal radar

i can say for sure they make there blocks with nickel plated copper and there rads are copper brass,there fittings are pretty good also and cheapest on the market,youll be fine using them,i have corsair mixed with bykski on a side rig and my main rig has bykski and ek stuff mixed both are doing great!

it is fine to mix.

 

I for example have a EK CPU block, Barrow GPU block, XSPC rads and Alphacool rads, with Monsoon fittings.

 

Just dont mix metals. Copper and Nickel are fine.

Aluminium not so much.
