Gday everyone,

 

First post on the forum so sorry if I'm not following all the rules.

 

I currently have a MSI GTX 1080 Sea Hawk X which comes with corsair liquid cooling and I would like to upgrade to a 1080ti however the price of a 1080ti Sea Hawk is expensive and I could save a few hundred dollars if i could take the liquid cooling off the 1080 card and put it on the 1080ti. I know I will probably need to purchase a gpu block to suit the new card but is that all and can it be done?

 

Thanks for any help!

you're not going to save any money either way. With how screwed the market is atm you won't even be able to find a GTX 1080ti of any kind for a reasonable price.

This liquid cooler will only work on cards that share the same board design, but from what I know they are different. Your idea wont work. It's easier to buy a 1080ti and sell the 1080.

What, you can't even get them at retail???

Anything you find in retail is a couple hundred more than it should cost right now. It's going to be best and wait for prices to come back down to normal levels.

I can get the EVGA hybrid version 1080ti for $1499 AUD or the Gigabyte version for $1449 AUD.

 

The standard 1080ti is in stock here for $1199 which would mean I could save about $250 if I could swap the cooling over.

 

I could also just sell the 1080 Sea Hawk X if its so valuable atm. What are secondhand cards going for?
