Aftermarket coolers.

I've been searching for a aftermarket cooler. Besides,  Ali express I can't seem to locate any. 

 

I have a Gigabyte RTX 3080 10gb card, no IO plate, no cooler and backplate. I looked and looked couldn't find anything. My question is simple, where can I find a aftermarket cooler with fans here in the US? I'm trying not to use Ali. Unless I'm just screwed and have to.

For what reason are you looking for aftermarket cooler? Do you think the graphics card is ugly or did yours die?


I really did not read this post very well. You can usually find the heatsinks on ebay.

water cooling is one of the option. or try to find a dead 3080 to extract the cooler.

What specific card do you have? Is it an aorus model? Eagle maybe? 

 

As tyler said, try ebay for a cooler. Sometimes people who watercool their cards sell their cards heatsink.

 

otherwise ask Gigabyte if they can send you a replacement heatsink, which I doubt they do to be honest.

Buy the same model as a For Parts on ebay. Grab the HSF, backplate, and IO plate, recycle the dead PCB, and you'll be good to go.

What model is it?

 

Depending on that a discount alphacool eiswolf is a complete set for about 150-200$ and will cool it like a beast. Whilst being whisperquiet. Its also not a universal solution so its actually proper made to fit.

The Raijintek Morpheus is nice. I bought one to replace my 1080Ti blower cooler and it worked like a charm with 2 Noctua fans. Compatibility with newer 3000 series GPUs seems wonky though.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
