Hello everyone!
 
I am wondering if it is possible to swap the single fan rad to a 280mm radiator? I want to build an eGPU enclosure and use the radiator as one of the side walls.
 
Does anyone have a link to a guide on how to replace the tubes/fittings/pump on either the FTW3 1080 Hybrid or another graphics card using the same aio-components?
thanks in advance!
 
PS: also, would changing the radiator void my warranty?
PS2: I´m asking first (not simply trying myself to take the AIO apart) because the 1080 is still my only gfx card, since I am waiting for better stock situation to buy a ftw3 3080 Hybrid card - or even Ti in case the whole supply situation doesnt improve..
 
cheers!

    Pretty sure this will constitute physically altering the original card design - so the warranty will be gone.
    - But sure, it shouldn't be to hard to do the project with a couple of watercooling barbs & clamps .
