Since i have the same model as you. It would be interesting to know how this card behaves under water

Idles in the 20s when there is nothing going on.
Running timespy extreme 4k, or overwatch with all settings maxed on a 240hz monitor I'm seeing 30s to begin with, creeping up to 40s.
Its a huge improvement vs the 80s I was seeing.
My loop is the gpu, 2x 360 rads (one very thin) and a 9900k. Instead of the included ek paste i used liquid metal on the gpu. I don't have an aggressive fan curve or pump speeds, just a steady increase on the fans as the temps rise.
I'm very happy with the improvement in both noise levels under load and temperatures.
I should add that my temps on air weren't helped by the gpu being vertical next to a glass window. There was plenty of airflow in the case but the gpu must have been recirculating hot air.
