EK Water Blocks, Slovenia based premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is proud to introduce full-cover liquid cooling solution for NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 series graphics cards, based on Pascal GP104 graphics processor.

 

EK-FC1080 GTX is a new Full-Cover water block, designed for NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 Founders Edition graphics cards. The block comes in four different variations and each of them directly cools the GPU, RAM as well as VRM (voltage regulation module) as water flows directly over these critical areas, thus allowing the graphics card and its VRM to remain stable under high overclocks. Performance-wise all variants of the block are the same, the only difference being the overall aesthetics. Each EK-FC1080 GTX water block covers the entire PCB of the card and with the corresponding retention backplate, users get visually stunning GPU in their system.

 

Every EK-FC1080 GTX water block features a central inlet split-flow cooling engine design – just like with the flagship EK-Supremacy EVO CPU water block – for best possible cooling performance. Such type of heat exchanger also works flawlessly with the reversed water flow without adversely affecting the cooling performance. Moreover, this radical design offers great hydraulic performance, allowing this product to be used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps.

paraphrasing @LinusTech: "these are for people with more money than common sense"

 

it was demonstrated that the GTX1080 reference design has a power limit imposed that will hinder overclocking - it's yet unknown how much the GP104-400 actually overclocks until AIB partners release custom boards with their own power delivery systems

done what?!

I had heard that the reference design would actually thermal throttle if it tried to run at the full boost clock for too long, so if that's true, I welcome these

I don't know about you, but I usually just quickly scan the first 2 or 3 pages of the news frontpage to see if it's been mentioned.

I always use the tags search - people that post in this section should use them

I even posted one before the one above, but I posted it in Graphics Cards to avoid the possibility of being verbally assaulted if it had been posted already.
