yes, i should have qualified that with: it now has a Accelero Xtreme IV on it, not the blower.

Gonna be a pricey box, he has it in the description stating its the box, nothing else yet people apparently don't read.
What’s wrong with these people. It’s at £370 now. For a flipping box!
Stupid idiots i would sold them my 2080ti box for half that price..

That’s the attention span of most individuals now I’m afraid. See the listing at a low price, bid on it without reading anything on the listing.
That being said it’s pretty easy to pull out of a winning eBay bid. If it’s been posted on somewhere like Reddit people will bid on it just for the lulz and to troll the seller.

I asked a little while ago on here and wondering if anything has changed since. The noise from my card is a bit annoying and I'd like to make it less so, while also dropping the temps. Are there better AiO water cooling options available now? At the time there was the Kraken G12 but that didn't cool all the VRM I believe? People would hack it a little bit to get it to work but I was never interested in doing that.
I have a Gigabyte card for what it's worth.

The only thing is if it fits. As I know some of the gigabytes have a slightly different pcb design to FE. See if your card is in the compatibility list for 2080Ti FE EKWB waterblock and if it is then it will fit otherwise possibly not.

This is what always puts me off buying a Gigabyte card there always a lot of complaints about them having noisy fans
Shame as Gigabyte warranty is meant to be one the best UK ones..

bums, my card does not appear to be on that list which is a shame
I had one preordered and I cancelled as I found out unfortunately the gigabyte cards are ever so slightly different, it’s one single Fan connector I believe that’s in the wrong place. So a block/AIO would fit if you machined/cut out a hole for it or removed the connector entirely.
In this reddit post seems you could desolder the pins or cut about 2mm off the connector pins to get a block/AIO to fit while still being fully functional. Or just bend them slightly and bend them straight if you ever needed to RMA/sell the card.

The gigabyte ones do have an rgb connector in the wrong place, but the ek configurator seems to think their newer blocks are compatible where they weren't before.

One thing I wouldn't be doing is messing around with a £1000+ card with the risk of ****ing it up installing an AiO on it!! Instead I prefer to do a little thing called 'research' and make sure the one I buy isn't a noisy little ******* when Summer comes

Yeah not something I would personally do either unless the card was that noisy. Although I’d just mill a chunk out the block than risk the card itself far more cost effective
, or as you say go with EVGA if you plan to WC. Don’t even think gigabyte allow cooler removal anymore.Has anyone had much bad luck with reference PCB cards as of late?
Bought an EVGA XC Ultra last year and I'm currently in the process of getting my 4th card.
First began artifacting after a week
Second had a knackered fan controller from the get go (Wasn't new, was a "tested" refurb)
Third started artifacting at stock clocks just last week but was fine if memory was underclocked.
Am I just unlucky?

In short yes
I have an XC ultra and haven’t had a single issue with it since day one, over a year old now. Also have had a couple FE’s and didn’t have any issues with those either.

********. Fourth time’s the charm then eh?
Not too impressed with EVGA if I’m completely honest. Did manage to get them to pay for the return shipping though..
Could be. if you're not running afterburner or something, that's going pretty fast. how's it running in on 3dmark? does it make it through? is the stock blower cooler on there or an aftermarket like the Accelero or water cooling?
EDIT: Should note that I put a palit bios onto my PNY to make it go faster when boosting.

It's the stock cooler and only installed thundermaster to keep an eye on temps etc.

Pretty normal for a 2080Ti most boost up to 1900+ mhz by themselves. Manufacturer boost clocks mean very little.
