Much like some other partners, Inno3D is going to offer a GeForce RTX 2080 TI based on liquid cooling. They are going big on cooling though, as they pair the iChill version with a 240mm radiator. ... Inno3D offers iChill GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Black with 240mm rad watercooling
I am still not really sure where the market is for these liquid cooled x080 cards. The cards are more power limited, compared to heat throttling issues. A decent double/triple fan gets the most out of these cards in real world applications. I would however be able to understand that from audio logic perspective, it would make sort of sense i guess (less noise)...but not for the base price, let alone what this AIO will set you back.
Not only they show 62'C with a 240mm AIO but they even pit it against a 1080Ti FE! lol and lol! Let's add the 1080 Ti iChill BLACK in the mix. https://i.**********/8cQrqMX2/LP_2080_Ti_BLACK_ver2_RV.jpg
Yeah, but bragging rights! "Oh what's that? Your 2080 Ti doesn't have a 240mm rad? You poor peasant." This is cool and all, but I'd much rather see something that's a hybrid solution, to where you can use air, or attach it to your current loop.
More or less: "Modify the color or add effect and create your own 'brutal' dream machine!" A lot of "brutality" comes with that card, probably when people slap themselves with it realising what they bought. Yeah... in my custom loop that thing would have it's own 480 rad, the other one's for the CPU. So... people buying this still are peasants
this is so freaking stupid (a 240mm rad with high temps), that i'm reminded of one of those horrible car kits from the 80's where you put a fiberglass shell copy of a fancy car on a VW beetle... what the fricking frack? even a loop filled with hot sauce (lol) should cool better than that.
I don't know. In my book a good 20°C less than the average across the board is pretty neat. I'd need a new case though. My current can at max support two 280mm (one used by the CPU) and one each of 14mm and 120mm radiators.
I personally would get one for acoustics reasons and also to be able to buy a glass panel case. 3rd party coolers do run quieter and cooler than FE but a good AIO cooler should beat 3rd party.
looking at the internal sketch that pump could have an integrated blower, if they knew how to do it, that is.
