Liquid and Air?

[poggwea]

Able to liquid cool 1080 whilst keep the Original air cooling piece on it for aesthetics?

 

Corsairs 1080 seems to have accomplished this. I want to know if i can do it with something like an EK waterblock

not without modding the crap out of the old cooler it could be done tho

Well in that case you need to wait for the Asus Poseidon version of the card. As far as I know they are the only ones who do a full cover block with fans on top of that too.

@iiNNeX Doesn't Corsair have one? And are they closed loop? Or can I add them to my existing loop?

Pretty sure the Corsair one is a closed loop, and it is not a full block waterblock under it, just the GPU block.

 

The Poseidon as far as I know is a full card block. Sadly it comes out very late in the card's life time and costs a lot too, so not sure if it's worth it over just a normal gpu block from the likes of EK

I think you could just put an AIO block on the card, and just use the air cooler to cover for aesthetics. Getting the stock cooler to work in hybrid setup is some modding I have no idea where to start with.

I tried with maxwell reference cooler and EK blocks.  I can tell you that you won't be able to do this with the FE cooler.

FE cooler? You mean the preinstalled one?

Founders Edition (reference cooler)

Got it.

Is there a possibility it could work with the new cards they have coming out? the non FE versions?
