Reference watercooling compatability

[Lycaone]

OKKKKK, so I have recently upgraded to a gtx 1070ti and i would like to watercool it (in a custom loop) but unlucly i bought a non-reference graphics card and since i can't find a waterblock for it i was thinking of using a reference design waterblock ..... so other than the lenght of my graphics card (that may be different from the reference one) what else do i need to look forward ???

THANKS 😀

What 1070ti do you have? Don't use a reference on it. Things like the vrm and other components that need cooling may not be cooled properly due to differing pcb layouts.

The physical PCB of your card is different than reference, a reference waterblock WILL NOT WORK.

Unless they make a waterblock for your card you're out of luck.

The ony way to get a compatable waterblock is to sell what you have and get a founders card or another non reference card that has a compatable water block. Sorry dude. Also why do you want to water cool a 1070ti? Its not realy worth it in my opinion.
