Trying to find “compatible” block zotac 2080ti blower non standard pcb.

[Darrell Metcalfe]

I recently acquired a zotac 2080ti blower card, however the variant looks to be a little different and as such I’m trying to find a water-block that would work.

the board looks to be a reference though the power connectors are at the end of the card not the side like most. The only card which seems to adopt this layout is the Galax Hof (though a much longer card).

the SKU for the card is : zt-t20810j-10b

My thought would be to purchase a block like Corsair xg7 and Dremel the space for the power connectors.

Any advice is much appreciated

try looking for Bykski blocks. I thought my KFA card couldn't be water-cooled but I now have a Bykski block on the way from China.

Hello,

I bought same cards, maybe we can share informations here.

So here are informations I found so far: This card is Bulk version of the classic ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Blower which product details can be found here: https://www.zotac.com/hk/product/graphics_card/zotac-gaming-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-blower

Difference is it has no retail packaging since it's bulk, and it has custom Zotac designed PCB whith power connectors on the side, while standard retail version has power connectors on usual location. I had information from Zotac which confirmed it is genuine Zotac custom design.

Standard card has part number ZT-T20810A-10P and Bulk version has part number ZT-T20810J-10B.

This custom PCB seems to have been designed especially for GPU server farms so it will save height and fit in rack server case 3U form factor such as this:

Caseking is selling EK custom designed waterblock for this card here: https://www.caseking.de/en/ek-water...assic-d-rgb-zotac-nickel-acryl-waek-1849.html

I ordered a pair and I'll give an update when I receive it. By the way I also contacted EK to get informations if they can sell backplates for this custom PCB, I'm waiting to get an answer through their ticket system or on their discord.

Take care and best regards.

And here I am 5 years later saying I also thought it was reference design and got a cheap block for it No more watercooled PhysX card (I just wanted to watercool something, since I never did on a GPU).
