Hi,

Have already installed a custom loop in my gaming PC. GPU is currently an RTX2080Ti, but looking to upgrade.

Am thinking RTX4070Ti (would consider others!) but would prefer to buy one with block pre-installed. Don't want to rip apart a very expensive new card to put block on.

Have found a couple around but not as many as I'd expected.

Anyone know of places that do them?

Cheers

Daz
 
Will be a small selection
People using custom watercooling loops
On gpus are in the minority
Ocuk would probably fit it for you
If you bought a card and separate block from them
Though no idea how much they would charge you
Not sure there's even many blocks for those yet
Though was a while back when I looked
Still using a 2080ti myself
 
My PC is the first watercooled one that I built and so I decided to keep the risk of problems as low as possible by buying a Gigabyte graphics card with a pre-installed waterblock. It was expensive but a good design and high quality IMHO. Everything's good and I think I made the right decision for the time, but of course now I have more confidence. If I build another one in the future I'll fit an aftermarket block to a graphics card like most folks seem to do. Considering that reports of problems with aftermarket blocks on this forum are fairly uncommon, and you already have experience of building a loop, maybe you should reconsider?
 
One other thing about buying pre fitted block
When you decide to upgrade
Without the original air cooler you have
A much smaller audience to sell it to

But yeah if it's an expensive card
It's a bit scary fitting the block yourself
 
To be fair the 2080Ti doesn't really seem to struggle with anything, but I'm always tinkering with it.

The least enjoyable part of doing the custom loop was definitely fitting the block to the graphics card. Knew if I didn't get it right I could destroy it!
 
Yeah I like to tinker too lol
Was thinking of a 3090
Been one in b grade with a factory fitted block for ages
And its my birthday next week
But cost of electricity and lot more heat in the loop
Are both putting me off upgrading the gpu
2080ti for my 1440p at 144hz still works fine anyway
Plus being Scottish apparently I am tight with money :cry:


As long as you're careful
Shouldn't destroy it
But with the cost of high end gpus
It does get buttock clenching doing the block lol
 
Also Scottish and don't spend money lightly!

Current setup plays stuff at 4K and 60+FPS. So really would be changing it just for the sake of it!

I have a problem!
