GPU waterblocks should be made with the tubes holes both on top and edge of the card... with the tube block movable .

do we know who is the manufacturer of the Waterblock ?
it doesn't really like an EK, but it's hard to say.

how is the PCB ? i see 2x8 pins for power supply on the pictures, so i guess the power limit will be around same as the FE ?


@nofanneeded the 'tube block" is called a terminal, for EK WB they are a standard part, and can be changed for the needs of the loop : https://www.ekwb.com/shop/water-blocks/vga-blocks/multiple-block-connectivity/fc-terminals-x

as for adding a terminal on the side of the block, that would be complicated to design an efficient maze in both cases, and we would have to replace one of the terminals with a plate. more gaskets = more risks of a leak.

Edit: this is for the 3080, read a little too quickly.

This is where I got mine back in December (USA): GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 DirectX 12 GV-N3080AORUSX W-10GD Video Card - Newegg.com
