Hi everyone,
I am upgrading my GPU from a 1080ti to a 3080, found a decent deal on newegg but after I got it, it was OOS.
Newegg - GIGABYTE Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING OC WATERFORCE WB 10GB
I have a Fractal Design Meshify C and have a Dark Rock Pro 4 as a CPU cooler, I've never ran a custom loop before and have been looking for good cooling solutions for this card and came across this kit below:
AliExpress - 240mm DIY PC Water liquid Cooling Fan Kit
~3x Price EK Classic Kit D-RGB P240 Liquid Cooling Kit - Black Nickel Edition
I choose 240mm because I want the top of the front panel to be feeding fresh air to the CPU cooler as I'm keeping it.
Opinions on the above kits? Also, can anyone recommend any other viable options to add cooling to this card?
Thanks!
Update:
I ended up getting the Alphacool 11475 Eisssturm Tornado Copper 60 2x140mm for $359.10, a bit overkill but idle temps were 14c, playing COD warzone I got 44c. Mounted the Rad and Pump/Res outside my case, underestimated the size of my case and the kit big time.
If i was playing around with a 3080 which costs more than a small village I wouldn't be looking for a cheap way to cool it.
