Precision CNC cut nickel-plated copper construction with more than 50 high-density cooling fins positioned over the GPU maximizes thermal transfer and surface area, for lower temperatures and maximum performance. Premium Total Conversion Design cools not just the GPU, but your graphics card’s memory and VRM as well, all clad in a clean and stylish aluminum casing. Heighten your system’s style with a unique manifold inspired by the iconic and refined look of CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM memory. Includes a full-length aluminum backplate to completely cover your graphics card’s PCB and protect sensitive components. 16 Individually addressable RGB LEDs integrated directly into the GPU block provide vibrant customizable RGB lighting when combined with a CORSAIR iCUE Controller (sold separately) and CORSAIR iCUE software. An acrylic top plate and transparent flow path puts your coolant and RGB lighting on display. Pre-applied thermal material and thermal pads make installation quicker and easier, with no cutting or spreading required. Add a CORSAIR Lighting Node PRO or Commander PRO and powerful CORSAIR iCUE software for customization and syncing of RGB lighting across all your CORSAIR RGB products including water blocks, fans, keyboard, LED light strips and more. Includes a 5V ARGB motherboard adapter cable to control lighting through compatible motherboards.

Great product - none of the 3 issues reported in this block

You have an EVGA 2080ti Gaming. My hybrid kit ended up with an annoying pump squeal, so I decided to just jam it (the kit is nowhere to be found). Found this for sale at Revain and decided to give it a try.1. I knew the whole story about "multiple faults" on them. So I ran it straight from the pump at full blast (vertical, ports at the back, slight bend with soft hoses) for a week before installing it. Zero problems or signs of leaks. It stayed in my rig for another month with no problems (one…

Perfect Fit - EVGA 2080 XC

XG7 RGB (Rev B) perfectly fits my EVGA 2080 XC card (reference). The reference term is relative to many, but the EVGA XC is typically a standard Nvidia card with a huge EVGA cooling solution (dual fans, fins, heat pipes, copper cooling fins, etc.) - configured with 2.5 slots. Beware of EVGA FTW. Maps - which are usually longer than the standard. There are some complaints, but they don't have reference PCBs, so the fit of huge larger-than-reference capacitors may depend on core cooling or…

Suitable for smaller builds as it reduces the size of the map. Good cooling. Pretty Easy Installation

Some Things to Know. (This is the 3080 FE version)1. There is no paper on the thermal pads to peel off.2. There is practically no contact with the back wall. only two tiny thermal pads.3. Taking the 3080 FE apart, for me the T5 bolts were pretty much stuck with the Loctite. I blew the heads off two of them because they are very soft. Make sure the T5 screwdriver makes good contact. However if you remove the head as the heads are soft I was able to loosen the bolts simply by pushing hard with…

Buy 0.5mm thick thermal pads with this water block!

Easy installation. Discreet back panel. No thermal pads were included for the back panel. My MSI 2080ti Ventus had such a loud coil noise that people could hear it through my mic. Crazy, it sounded like it was about to explode. I tried reusing MSI's thick thermal pads, but then my temperatures skyrocketed because the water block wasn't fully compressed. Tried and failed with 1.5mm, 1mm and 0.5mm thermal pads. .5 is the best spot with no coil noise, water block seats and good temps. I now rarely
