    Additional benefits of water cooled graphics cards: most dual-slot cards become single-slot when water cooled, if there is no connector occupying the second slot's space. If you can get a single slot bracket with water cooling the system can be very densely packed. Since your GTX 1080 Ti is one of those cards that does not have dual slot connectors, you can pack 7 of them into a motherboard like Asus Z10PE-D16 WS. Throw in a pair of Xeon E5-2697v4 and 128GB of RAM and you can spin up 7 virtual machines, each with one dedicated GPU, 4 dedicated cores, and 16GB of RAM. This is enough to host a LAN party. Linus from LTT have done it before using R9 Nanos and it was already awesome.

    You say that water/liquid cooled PCs are silent and "inaudible". What about the pump noise? If you have 2 pumps for separate CPU and GPU loops, it's even worse. You can suppress that with sound dampening materials, I guess, or if your case has "basement" for PSU and water pumps.

  • @GermanMaterialScientist

    I don't care what other viewers say about your videos. I like watching you learn about new stuff and commenting on it. Same thing with your hard tube build. Can you just add a bunch of thermal pads on the backplate, so it hepls cool the card? Also shouldn't be the temps much lower? I mean 61°C on a watercooled 1080 under load seems a little much to me. I expected temps around the 50s +/-5.

    61C seems too high. I installed Corsair H55 AIOs via Kraken G12s to both my 980 Tis and neither of them go near 61C at full load, even OC'd with ambient temps above 30C. I know that's apples/oranges, but still, that just seems too high for a custom loop. I do agree though that the sound difference is a huge benefit to liquid cooling.

    61 degrees Celsius for a 1080 on water? There must be something wrong. Either the block is faulty or not correctly installed or there is an issue with loop. What radiators did you use for this test? I have an i7-7700K with a 1080 with a 360 mm radiator and a 240 mm radiator. Even with higher ambient temps, the GPU goes barely over 50 degrees with Noctua NF-F12 on both rads (about 70% or 1.000 rpm under load).

    Look at some performance charts, if you are watercooling like Greg though, look for the cheapest reference PCB you can find - the quality of the cooler is irrelevant when you're replacing it. Reference PCBs have the largest variety of blocks available (generally).

With my new 1080 TI in the exact same system with same ambiant i'm still never getting above 50°C (better VRM components on the TI compared to 1080 so less heat). i also saw many other people with similar temps than me so yeah maybe something is wrong with your tests ?
