Hello everyone,
I am doing a build that I want to have custom water cooling in. This will be my first build with water cooling so I am using EKWB's configurator which will take the case, motherboard, cpu, gpu, and amount of ram as inputs and will show what components I will need. Right now I have the:
Motherboard - Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero
CPU - Intel i9-9900K
GPU - ?
Ram - Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro (8x4)
I am looking for a good RTX 2080 TI that will be good with overclocking. I might not OC it immediately but I want the option to OC if I need it in the future. From what I have heard, overclocking can shorten the life of the GPU or CPU which is why I won't do it immediately. I was planning on going with a non-reference card and one that doesn't come overclocked just because it might shorten the length of the GPU (not sure if this is true or not so feel free to prove me wrong). Some of the cards don't work with the configurator so I was just wondering if anybody has any recommendations. If one of the best options is to go with the reference card then I will, but I was wondering if there is a better option that's better for overclocking.
Thanks!
