So far off it's not even funny.  The cooler is EVERYTHING for Pascal, especially if you're wanting to overclock.  lol

If it's not reference it should be good enough... That's what I meant... :D

And even the reference cooler will allow you to OC the 1080 to its max, but it will sound like a jet engine

go for anything other than reference card that fit your build since there's not much room to overclock due to power limitation.

No.  Air cooling isn't sufficient to take these up to their max potential.

Will 20-50MHz make a big difference? You can get close to a 1080's max potential with an air cooler...

RGB with red accents all over the card, not really useful IMO xD

Well if you're going for the black/red build it's awesome

Evga gtx 1080 classified but at $600 might as well wait vega or get 1080 ti

 

Maybe icx? Reason why I suggest evga is because they are very lenient with over locking and customer service is very good

There's quite a difference in air and water cooling, and potential max temps under load.  Especially if you consider that what core clock may run on air at 1.093v and run "ok", will probably run perfect on water at 1.05v.  Once you start pushing above 2150, and headed toward 2300, every 10c makes a huge difference in the required voltage to keep that clock not only stable, but running well.

For instance....I've had several 1080FTW that would run between 2189 and 2214 on air, but during testing in Timespy, the frames and graphics score were worse than they ran with 2153 on water.  Just because you can reach that "top shelf", doesn't mean ya should.  So, does that extra 20-50mhz make much of a difference?  Well, 1, it's going to be more than that if you know what you're doing, and 2. the answer is yes.

Water cool for 150mhz.. not even worth the price of admission.

Like I said, it's going to be more if you know what you're doing.

As i said, not worth it over a 3rd party air cooled 1080 at all.

the fanciest in terms of overclocking features, temps, voltage regulation, pretty much everything

all pascal chips have virtually no voltage regulation. its locked which holds back its ocing potential. fukn nvidia

13700k, 3070, 32GB@3200

i believe the aorus card has an unlocked power limit

im watercooling no matter what card I get. therefore the cooler is irrelevent, and waterblock availablility is important
