Should I sell my GTX 1080 FE and get a EVGA 1080

I have a GTX 1080 but I don’t like the blower and I have an ATX board and a Mid Tower case with a 200mm intake and a 360mm radiator and 120mm outtake!

 

i also should like to overclock a little more since I’m never going to use sli

 

so should I sell my FE for a EVGA 1080 or 1070ti!

They make hybrid coolers for the 1080.  I'd go that route unless you plan on upgrading when you sell the 1080.

I think I’ll do a full water cooled system

Does that work with the GTX 1080 FE?

Did you click the link?  If you scroll down just a bit there's a link called IS YOUR GPU COMPATIBLE WITH THIS KIT? 

 

if you click the link you'll be taken to this page: https://www.ekwb.com/configurator/waterblock/3831109890769

That's a tactic people that want water cooling buy cheaper blower cards and water cool them

It’s on the list but it doesn’t say visual or anything in compatible

get a watercooling kit

get a custom cooler from for example artic cooling

So for that to work I’m going to have to get a new case! I’ll nostlikly get a CoolerMaster h500

you need a new case, a radior, a pump, a reservoir, tubing, tools to cut the tubbing, fittings, fans, fluid...this will end up costing more money than selling your GTX 1080 and buy a RTX 2080 or something...and you'll still be stuck with just a 1080.

 

Personally i would sell the 1080FE and i would buy a used 1080ti or something instead...a card with a decent cooler on it.

| CPU: Core i7-8700K @ 4.89ghz - 1.21v  |  Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING  |  CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 |
| GPU: MSI RTX 3080Ti Ventus 3X OC  |  RAM: 32GB T-Force Delta RGB 3066mhz |
| Displays: Acer Predator XB270HU 1440p Gsync 144hz IPS Gaming monitor | Oculus Quest 2 VR

The case cost $80 and they cooling cost $230 and my system would be way cooler
