Excellent goods! For every liquid-cooled gaming system you build!

This water block is for this specific GPU made specifically for this GPU for the Asus RTX 2080 or 2080 TI to be exact. Well, with that said, it will fit almost any RTX 2080 or 2080 TI that has a triple fan and is the same length as the Asus Rog Strix 2080 TI and 2080. If you look at the pictures you will see that It fits very well with the GPU board that we use with thermal compound and also comes with thermal insulation strips to attach to the board. Insert the RAM chips into the GPU circuitry before installing the actual water block with all its thermal paste and thermal barriers and position them in the correct order and location to secure this water block to the GPU. With that being said, before installing the water block on the GPU, you must first screw on the GPU backplate that comes with the rear interior of the GPU to light up the Asus gamer emblem. This lights up from behind and also synchronizes with the aura. Once you've screwed these screws into the GPU's rear backplate from one side of the GPU, you can attach the water block using the thermal grease and thermal tapes and screw the father in place while you have the backplate. already set in a spot where if it were reversed you wouldn't be able to get through the water tank or water block to the bolt holes, I should say start from the back first. Definitely thumbs up and kudos to phanteks! I have a cpu water block on the motherboard that uses the 9 core i7 9700k processor contained in this block rigid tube All optional acrylic water blocks custom made for each part listed on this invoice including the water tank and pump combination which is custom molded is to match this special tower mainly made of motorcycle tubular frame metal parts to assemble this tower. This high-end mid-tower will sell for $6,500 when completed and launched! As for the rating of the phanteks Aura and RGB Sync Acrylic GPU Water Block, I have to give it five stars, definitely be careful when attaching, be careful when disassembling the GPU by removing the screws from the back. and then work around and move forward and be very careful which screws you loosen how you pull them out and when you pull them out of the cpu so as not to damage the cpu or ram if you take it apart it will be a bit tight behind the thermal paste pads that protect it from the heat of the processor. eg your backing forces you to stake the backing before simply tearing off the backing etc. Proceed with caution. Watch the video if needed, but remember what you're taking apart and what bolts you're using to disassemble. I always cover the screws with a colored marker. Good luck anyway and I hope this review helps!
