The founders edition just has the stock PCB right? gracphics cards are confusing. As you wish! HERE More info: the Founders edition is the "stock pcb" for the 1080Ti there are no other non Founders cards that use the Founders pcb, not even the cheap MSI aero cards, they use a custom(if possibly worse) pcb. My assumption for the kit that you found would be the: EK A240G kit found HERE FYI, remember that this kit it not currently compatable with ANY of EK's other parts as the aluminum components are approved for use with any of their copper or nickle plated parts, that being said... it will still perform very well and will cost FAR less to get you started in water cooling.

Posted November 7, 2017 You pay more for a founder edition, with no real advantage, since they are specs by NVidia. Look at a card you want and see what water kit will fit it. Before you do anything.

EK does not make any other GPU blocks for other cards that are compatible with this kit, the reason being that this kit uses all aluminum components to get the selling price down to 1/2 of what the kit would cost with copper and nickel plated components. Therefore he MUST get a founders edition pcb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if the kit is compatable with a my 6700k or not and i need one with a 360 rad instead of the 240.

Posted November 8, 2017 13 hours ago, DarthSmartt said: I'm very confused. For some reason, on amazon and newegg and stuff, I can't seem to find any founders edition 1080tis. The few I did find cost more than the freaking titan xp! Can someone direct me to a founders 1080ti please, or tell me how much of an idiot I am, or tell me what's going on? If you actually read the compatibility list it doesn't just support Founder Edition Cards. 12 hours ago, DarthSmartt said: Yes.

If the kit is comatible with the LGA 1151 socket then its compatible with your cpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 8, 2017 https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=11G-P4-6390-RX EVGA B-Stock. Mine is great, and they are cheap with a warranty. If it shows out of stock, just keep checking. They come and go very regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 8, 2017 The Asus ROG Poseidon would likely be overall cheaper and has a pre installed watercooling block. You can also turn the fans on with the water pump for extra cooling to push it further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
