You can't use AIO GPU kit on that GPU because it doesn't have middle plate to help cool the VRM & the memory
Sticking heatsinks on the VRM & the memory is a PITA as they will definitely fall off after some time
You need to go for a full blown GPU waterblock and as such, it's better if you cool the CPU with liquid cooling as well
And don't expect for these to be cheap. At least RM1K for the GPU waterblock, CPU waterblock, fittings, pumps, 2 radiators, tubes & reservoir
You can reduce maybe around RM400 (by removing the CPU waterblock and 1 radiator) if you don't watercool the CPU but to me it's kind of a waste
What case are you using by the way?
Hi Shawty,
Currently i'm using Zeal casing from Aftershock, similar to Antec P120.
I changed the GPU from 2x Gigabyte Gaming OC to the following due to gigabyte bad thermal pads :-
ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3080 OC 10GB
GIGABYTE AORUS XTREME RTX 3080 10GB
After doing research, i'm planning to do a custom waterloop with the following :-
Bykski Waterblock for ASUS ROG STRIX
Bykski Waterblock for GIGABYTE AORUS EXTREME
Barrow Fittings
2x Corsair XL5 performance coolant ( each CPU has two radiator, inlet and outlet )
4x Corsair X7 radiator 360mm ( Each cpu , top and front radiator )
2x Corsair Hydro X series pump
12x Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM 120mm ( 3 static pressure fan to pull for each radiator )
Thermal Kryonaut for the thermal.
Fujipoly Ultra Extreme XR-M Thermal Pad 17w/mk for the VRAM/VRM
As for tubing, i'm still contemplating whether to go with PETG or PMMA.
PMMA is stronger and have good heat dissipation compared to PETG , and PETG only some coolant are supported.
I don't actually have the tools for PMMA , what are needed for acrylic/PMMA build?
