GPU Thermal issues

[ParadigmFusion]

Hey all, long time reader, first time poster. I recently purchased a Gigabyte Windforce OC 11g 2080ti, and sadly it's cooling is a little lackluster (I have searched and searched, and came up with the same universal truth.. it's cooler sucks..)

 

So I'm looking to change it's cooler, water cooling isn't an option as I am in a NZXT H1. Ideally, I'd like to get ahold of a heatsink from a Gigabyte Gaming OC 2080ti and its heatsink is similar to mine, just a fair bit thicker.

 

Being it uses a reference PCB, I'm not opposed to using a heatsink from another brand either as long as it works better than the Windforce cooler.

 

So my question is this, does anyone who may have upgraded to water cooling have a 2080ti heatsink they'd like to sell? Or can point me in the right direction to find one? Sadly eBays options are REALLY slim (a MSI Ventus which the shipping cost is the same as the cost of the cooler, a couple Strix OC 2080ti coolers but those use another PCB, a few blower heatsink (HELL NO!!) And a founders edition missing it's screws and backplate, so that doesn't do me any good.)

 

Many thanks in advance for anyone that can help.. also the Artic cooler is too big (already looked at it.)

Sadly, I can't post in classifieds because I'm a new member (100 post minimum it seems) I looked at the Rajintek and Arctic coolers and they are both way too big for my case, not to mention neither have any contact to the VRAM or VRM, and from what I understand, on a 2080ti that is no bueno...

 

Best I can do at the moment is just keep refreshing that eBay list every day or 2 till I find one.. I wish the ROG Strix one would fit.. but it's PCB is much bigger.
