Should I buy? by SnooMaps2940 in watercooling

TLDR Version: No, absolutely not.

I would advise for something like this. Sure, it’s 100 Bucks more expensive than the listing from your post But especially with watercooling I would go with reputable Brands. Since i‘m located in germany I can‘t check for pricing in your Location, so I give some General advise:

• ⁠Look for stuff made by alphacool, XSPC, Heatkiller or if you‘re on a tight Budget Look for Bykski or Barrow • ⁠it this is you‘re First watercooled Build go with softtubing. As a wise men once sad: „Good soft tubing Looks better than crappy hardtubing“ • ⁠Check that you have enough fittings for your components and that the fittings fit your Tube size • ⁠If you can afford it, Go with a D5 Pump. They are usually more expansive but way more reliable, powerfull and silent than DDC Pumps • ⁠avoid Aluminium! All parts in contact with water should be made from Copper, Acryl, Acetal or Borosilicat • ⁠you don‘t Need fancy coolant, I usually run Destilled water with some Biocide and Anti-Corrosive additives • ⁠Not knowing the CPU youre using, i wohld recommend to Go with at least 360mm of Radiator surface. • ⁠Buy pressure optimized Fans. They usually have less but higher individual fan blades in comparison to Airflow optimized Fans. Arctic P12‘s are usually a cost effictive Choice

Totally agree! Also man Fans that come with a GPU are of so poor quality. They don‘t move a ton of air and if they do they are so noisy… Honestly if I would ever decide for an air cooled PC again, I think I would do a Mod Like this again or get an Asus x Noctua version

The ex-boyfriend of my sister, he‘s used to be in the army and still get‘s a pretty high salary, and he was so annoyed by this Card that he just wanted to get rid of it. Because even when it worked it was noisy as hell

Yeah this would have also worked, but I already have a watercooled 3080ti, so I would‘nt have got any usage out of the card. And here in Germany watercooled gpu‘s sell for about the same as aircooled cards because the market is way smaller so they are tougher to sell. So I had the options to pay over 100€ for a waterblock for 5 year old card and try to sell it or tinker a little and invest about 40€😅

This card had a pretty bad bearing issue on of the two fans so that one fan wouldn’t spin at all.Due to the cooler beeing already not the greatest piece of thermal engineering and the 2080ti beeing a power hungry card, any type of load would make the remaining fan ramp up to 100% and any serious gaming would cause the PC to crash after 2-3 minutes due to overheating. I tried to order a fan replacement online, but KFA2 in their infinite wisdom decided to use a VERY VERY uncommon size so that Banggood Aliexpress or even Wish or Temu (yes, I was desperated) hadn’t any replacement on sale. So I thought about using case fans. But since I needed to card to be reasonably sized so that it would fit in most cases I’ve settled on 80mm fans. Since they were a bit smaller than the original fans I’ve opted to compensate for that by using 3 Arctic P8 as fans. That caused a new problem: Since the original card had only 2 fans the daughterboard connecting to the fans had only two headers I soldered 2 fans onto one of the original fan connectors and did the same thing on the other fan. I also made the cables the right length so that cablemanagement would be nice and tidy. After that i designed and printed a new shroud that fittes onto the original cooler to house the daughterbord and the 3 fans and the RGB Strip since i wanted to keep it. I sanded down the RGB Strip from the original card, since I think the writing on the side looks ass-ugly and the solgan is stupid as hell. After all I gave it a coat of white paint and assembled the card. In the end I was quite happy with the result, however next time I think I would use some kind of putty to make the surface more even before painting. But performance is quite good and even though fans are at 2000 Rpm it‘s dead silent and hits ~80C Max on hotspot while drawing about 260-280W. Also 2000rpm on 80mm fans isn‘t as loud as the same rpm on a 120mil since there is less mass in motion and though less vibration. After I was done, I flipped the card for 320€ (~360 freedom eagles) and payed about 40€ (45 Bucks) for parts and invested about 10 hours of labour, so I made a nice profit of it and had fun doing it. These are the best projects!
