Hello

I am hoping someone can help me. I have this card:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/b-gr...x-pci-express-graphics-card-gv-bg-53v-gi.html

I am wanting to build a custom loop system and this is the only thing I am having issues with. I cannot find a water block for my graphics card. I am aware that it is already water cooled but space in my case is tight so I want to just have the one radiator in the case. The case is a Phanteks shift X.

I am already resigned to having to buy a new graphics card which doesn't fill me with any joy given that the 2080 is not that big a jump for the money you have to pay.

Thanks in advance.

There is some available for your card there, just go through the configurator for Video cards and select the options, then choose the one you want, very strange though, they look like they are not full cover blocks, core and maybe memory only, you need to use what is left of your original cooler for VRM cooling.

However there is this one which fits your card: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...byte-GTX-1080-Xtreme/2346072_32747323781.html

Yeah I was hoping for a full size card. There does seem to be some on ekwb and alphacool but I can't find them in stock anywhere. I think I may have to buy a new GPU :(

That one at aliexpress seems to have some quite good reviews, that's a full cover block, just a long time to wait for it, unless they have an express delivery service, ive only used aliexpress once or twice in the past so cant really remember or comment on it.

If you do decide to go down the new card route, get the standard version, the water blocks for the stand ones are always the first on the market, the custom cards are harder to get blocks for.
