Just wondering if anyone can tell me if they ever found a water block for a 1080 TI SC2. I have a SC2 air cooled and I may be putting a custom loop into my system. I read something about a separate SC2 WB being in the works about a year ago but now I can't find it. I also read something about 1080 ti SC Black blocks being usable but that you had to mod the card somehow? Which I assume voids the warranty. The kit I am looking at includes an all aluminum system, and also includes a WB, (with aluminum) so I would prefer to use that, but I am open to other options. It says it fits all 1070, 1080, 1080ti and a couple other models... so I don't see why the SC2 wouldn't work. Here's the kit I am looking at: If anyone could provide some advice or tag someone that can, I would greatly appreciate it. TL;DR: Will the current block I want to buy work? If not is there an alternative?

“All accessories are missing.”
Thank you so much. That was very helpful. A couple more questions. The waterblock you linked I can only find on the EU version of the EVGA website, not the USA website. Any ideas? I suppose I could try calling EVGA support. The card I have is the 1080 TI SC2 hybrid. I assume it should fit on a WB made for a air cooled SC2? (The same WB you linked) Also, the other 3rd party WB I am looking at right now is made for Founder Edition PCB's. I read somewhere that the only PCBs EVGA made were the FTW3 and that all other versions were based on the FE PCB (The black edition, SC2, gaming, etc). Is it possible this could work also? It is the XSPC Razor RGB WB. It says this: Supports Nvidia GTX 1080, GTX 1070, 1080 Ti, 1070 Ti and Titan X Pascal cards (Nvidia reference designs and founders edition only)Thank you for your help so far. I really appreciate it.

The Problem is when the Hydro Coppers are released in the US it takes time for them to make it to the EU.
With this the EU gets them late and then no one wants them in the EU. So in the Long run EVGA should send less to the EU and keep more for the US. But that will not happen because as you can read all over this Forum the EU Cry the Loudest to get the new stuff first. So this could be why now only the EU has them in Stock and not the USA. EU Rant Over.
You are going to find it Very Hard now to find a Water Block for your Card here in the USA.
Sorry so many are made and then that is it, not many other companies made Water Blocks for this card.
That eBay one above may be the last.

Yep true. I might just have to call EVGA support and see if they can ship me one. EVGA support is always great, they might be able to help me out... Despite all that, I would still prefer to have the other block I am looking at work :( If anyone else has input please feel free to share.

I placed a url in my post and it vanished. Scan dot co dot uk is the website i got my block from. They are in the UK I know it says end of life, but i got 2 of these blocks from them about 4-5 weeks ago. Contact the sales team and ask if they can please check their stock. At the time they told me that they had 11. I would say that they have 9 now. I just installed mine tonight.

Do they ship to the US? I found that site as well. PS: For anyone else looking, Californila says they are in stock but they are not. Don't order from them.

I just called in, and they said they for sure do not have any in stock. Since you said they had 9 left I am not sure they looked in the right place. Who exactly did you call? I tried both customer support, and the sales team.

Neil, you mentioned in your original post that you were considering an aluminum cooling kit. Just FYI, aluminum and other metals are not compatible. Say you find a copper block[or nickel plated] for your card. It is NOT compatible with other aluminum parts like radiator, or w/e. Hope you can find what you want.

Why not just get a block for it from EKWB? I have the Hydro Copper SC2 and I recently had the particles in Primochill's Opaque fluid separate and coat everything. I had to do a "deep" clean but you are unable to take the hydro copper blocks apart to clean properly without prying up and ruining the name plate (voiding the warranty in the process I assume). I used the Mayhems Blitz Pro kit but still didn't seem to get all the gunk out.

I noticed EK showed the SC, but not the SC2. Are they really that different? Looking at the circuit board pictures it seems there are very slight differences. Makes me wonder if anyone was able to use one on their SC2... What do you have Bcav, Hydro?

This one 400-HC-5599-B1 For All EVGA GTX 1080 Ti Cards (NON-FTW3) EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC Hydro Copper Installation Guide In another Thread the OP said that it was a Fan Header the SC2 has and the rest do not. My first Disapointment ever about EVGA? GTX 1080 Ti SC2Question about 1080 Ti SC Black vs SC2 So the (Hydro) 400-HY-5598-B1 and (HC) 400-HC-5599-B1 will both work on the SC2 Cards, at least this is how I read it. 400-HC-5599-B1 Shows only for the SC2 but when EVGA released the HC it was the same as the Titan so for none SC2 Cards you could install the Titan EK Water Block but then EK and EK changed it to a 1080 Ti Water Block and it has one less screw on it. I have Thread on this I will have to go find it and post back. https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2627774I use the this on my First 1080 Ti FE cards from EVGA Before any WB from EK or EVGA was released EK-FC TitanX Pascal-Nickel Plated Copper Water Block with Plexi Top for Nvidia TitanX Pascal EK-FC TITANX-PAS-GTX-NP EK-FC Titan X Pascal Backplate - Nickel for EK-FC TitanX Pascal GTX Series Water Blocks EK-FCTITANX-PAS-NK-BP But are not for the SC2 Graphics Cards.

EKWB doesn't fit without modifying the block. Plus, a lot more expensive (Cost, backplate, time). And any warranty issues.

Yup. Went with full copper after learning that a couple weeks ago. Thanks!

Good deal! It's ok if EVERYTHING is AU, but otherwise no bueno. Bcav, very informative post dude! That's what I as seeing in the comparison pics At EK, the fan header, and a chip near the power end of the card. Those were the only visible differences. I hope you are able to find a block Neil, such a pain!

sorry for not getting back to yas sooner. Been busy getting my water cooling up and running.
I bought it from the place in Scan dot co. uk. I used their chat feature to speak to Christopher I think it was.
Their website does not allow you to ship to Australia.
When I was chatting to Christopher I asked if he would courier it to Australia and he said that they normally do not do this.
He however did say he would do me a favour and get it sent via courier. I got 2 sent out.
If they no longer have them, then I can't change that for you. This Hydro Copper water block does not require any modification to the card it self.
The instructions are terrible and difficult to follow. I knew this from the start as I had read the forums and knew what I was up against.
I installed all the screws accordingly and made sure that the thermal paste made contact(as I took it apart after putting it together).
I had to put it together for a second time. Funny enough as I thought it went well and that all would work.
Well the system would not boot up with the card plugged in. I had to use the DVI port on the mother board to boot up and look for a solution.
that is when I found this thread again. It is so disappointing right now because I was hoping this would go smoothly.

Well I reverted the card back to the stock cooler and all is working. The card is working fine.
Must be something about removing the fan connector that stops the card from booting.

Don't mean to zombie a really old thread but I found a solution for everyone.
Titan X (pascal) waterblocks. I tried seeing if the FTW3 blocks would work but the VRM and the capacitors in the back have a different arrangement. Titan XP (X pascal not Xp) blocks have the exact arrangement. Only difference is they have 12GB of memory so you'll have to put a thermal pad on the missing VRAM slot, this is exactly what the stock heat sinks do as well.
So if you have SC2 cards laying around you can use them for a fun water project.
