Well, things are about to change. Got a wild hair going and decided to go full liquid cooled. The Corsair cooler will be disappearing and in its place an EK block.
For GPUs as much as Ive been a fan of the EK blocks Im a bit disappointed that you cant use the original back plate on the Strix 1080s, have to use their backs or no backs. I really like the RGB lighting and Bitspower allows you to keep your original back and has RGB lighting in their block that will plug right into the cards RGB port. So bitspower full cover blocks it is.
I didnt want to go with a thicker 360 rad so I went with a slim for the front of the case and adding a 280 in the top with and EK Xres REVO D5 PWM to pump the loop that will be going pump to 360 to GPUs to 280 to CPU back to res. Keeping it one loop with two rads. If the D5 doesnt have anough pressure I have other pumps laying around that are still either new or nearly new with a little more umph.
Ill try and post up pics as Im going hard pipe on this one too, really like that look. Anyone looking for a slightly used H115i in the near future for a discount hit me up VIA PM.
