3080TI FE with a EK-Quantum Vector FE

[Sc4mpi]

My 3080Ti arrived today and after trawling the internet for info on 3080Ti water blocks I came up empty handed, so I took a gamble on the EK-Quantum 3080 Vector FE and can confirm it fits without any issues.

I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same card as the 3080 just with the 2 extra Dram chips.

So that was my understanding too, it has 2x more memory dimm's and a couple of the chokes have been moved around. EK listed the compatibly as "Visual" but couldn't confirm if it did or not without any issues. Was pretty much buy and try.

I love this waterblock. Looks amazing. Have any pictures of your whole build?
Not surprised it fits like a glove, 99% the same card really.

Did you run the card on air at all? Any coil-whine from it? If so...does fitting the block improve / change that situation at all?

One thing putting me off doing a custom loop now is the amount my card whines. No point going full WC to quiet down the PC if I am still stuck with the whine!
Infact.... the fans at least mask it somewhat.

It went straight on water apart from 5mins initially to test it wasn't DOA. No audible coil whine that I can hear. This particular waterblock does fully enclose the card.

Only one I have to hand was when I refilled it.
