gtx 1080 duke Watercooling

[Wierdbagles]

Hello everyone I am wondering something about watercooling and id like all yall experts help

So I have a MSI Gefoece GTX 1080 Duke(three Fan) and i was wondering where there are any other option other than the TF6 EK waterblock here

https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc1080-gtx-tf6-nickel

And I realy dont want to spend $150+ on a gpu block.

Do you know any manufacturures who would produce a block like this but cheaper

would prefer a plexiglass top where I can see the liquid, but beggers can't be choosers

 

Thanks in advance -Wierdbagles

That's normal pricing for watercooling blocks, it's not going to go much cheaper unless you get a universal or hybrid block like ones from Alphacool. There are options from Asia such as Barrow but there is no guarantees for warranty if something were to happen.

If it's compatible it will work bykski is a fairly large watercooling provider in the Asian market, but like I said there is no guarantees on anything like this as they don't really have international warranty from what I'm aware of.

 

At the end of the day the cost is marginal being so little in price difference, if you planning on watercooling and getting good quality components your looking at a starting price of $500 USD.
