    Want to replace AIO block with custom loop block.

    I probably will. But I'm assuming that they're just going to check their database which won't have my card listed and tell me that it won't fit. UPDATE: E-mailed support. Waiting for reply.

    Want to replace AIO block with custom loop block.

    So I was looking at the board for my card in a video and this is what it looks like. https://ibb.co/hT3tX7 In the video buddy mentions that the board looks like a founder's card. So I checked out the block for that card and on the EK site this is the PCB that the Founder's block fits...

    Want to replace AIO block with custom loop block.

    I currently have an MSI GTX 1080 Sea Hawk AIO and want to convert it to my new custom loop system. Will just any GTX 1080 waterblock work with my card?
