Best 1080 for overclocking?

[Dwood180]

I'm wanting to know what 1080 is best for overclocking if I'm planning to water cool?

 

thanks

They all perform pretty darn close to each other, within 1 or 2% so there is no real winner here. Only thing we suggest is to stay away from the ASUS GPU's as they have a horrible QA and a worse RMA/Customer Service issue.

Even though they all perform nearly identical, EVGA does get my vote for superior customer service and all around products.

Thanks for the info. I'll go EVGA then and waiting for the water block to come out doesn't look like a issue since so far everywhere I have seen so far all the 1080's are sold out.

Evga classified. 

 

You'll want to go evga since you don't lose your warranty if you change the cooler.

Ok just one more question. I noticed on EKWB the water blocks state that they aren't compatible with the new SLI bridges. Is there any blocks that will be compatable?

well its hard to say, unless they completely redesign the sli bridges or redesign the way that waterblocks receive the water.

Thanks for that, I guess the standard bridges will have to do then

yeah, you can just cut off the excess acrylic

or use the floppy bridges... it doesn't really matter

EVGA is also releasing an AIO kit for the FTW, thus making into a gtx 1080 hybrid, in case you have no open water cooling.

I'll be doing a custom loop with the CPU and 2 GPU's
