I guess that means I can ditch the Titan X blocks and backplates I have running in my system.

I've just bought a 1080ti FE and titan x block, as it's compatible...why the need for a specific 1080 ti block?

1. So newer people know for certain that it will work with their 1080 Ti.
2. So the wording 1080 Ti is on the block and not titan X.

Custom PCB's.. EVGA's FTW3 1080Ti is a custom board and the FE block wont fit properly.

 

[Joseph Jasik]

Hellbound is correct. Custom PCB is not the same as FE and requires a custom WB.

Do you need a custom water loop setup to use this?

 

[bluzbrother]

Not a knock on water cooling, because I would love to go that route if it wasn't so expensive, but I think it's ridiculous that a $700 graphics card comes with cooling that is "sub-par".

Yea you need a custom water loop for this card

 

[JackNaylorPE]

If you want to avoid throttling, you'll need a AIB provided air cooling system or a water block. That's going to be true for the 1080 Ti just as it was for the 1080 / 1070. Water blocks for reference cards are interchangeable across brands and often between model numbers when two models use the same PCB.

does anyone know if there is a block right now that will fit the Aorus Extreme?

 

[burtman88]

not to sure as of yet, but i thought ek was or had designed a new water block that would work
