Hey guys does anyone know which water blocks I can fit on my 1080 Ti ?, I'd prefer an EK block but I'll use any others if they support my card.
 
Thanks.

    I'd be extremely surprised if the "EK-FC GeForce GTX FE" family of blocks won't fit. I have a SC2 fitted with one of these block without any modifications or issues which is pretty much the same layout with ICX. Just make sure it's from the "EK-FC Geforce GTX FE" family.

    EK is good at mentioning which cards were physically checked & which ones where a visual review
     
    mine are the Larger PCB - 1080 Ti FTW3 - or I'd share the blocks part number

    Did some digging on the EK site:
     
    searched - EVGA 11G-P4-6591
     
    Your EK list of Water Blocks
     
     
      Sorry, we have no plans to make a full cover water block for this position. Thank you.
     
    ---> they do list (other = CPU) blocks that could be used to just cool the GPU ... not full cover blocks
     
    Might be Time for you to search the other brands
     
    UPDATE:
     
    More Digging ---> This EVGA card EVGA 11G-P4-6593  does have a water block ---> I am not sure if your PCB is the same ??
     
    Specs PDF - EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 GAMING, 11G-P4-6593-KR
     
    EK-FC GeForce GTX FE RGB - Nickel

    Product EAN: 3830046995780
     
     
             Is my PC compatible?
     
    last EVGA  GPU listed = EVGA EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Gaming 11GB GDDR5X (11G-P4-6593)
     
     
    So Maybe it will fit ... contact EK

    The PCB of your ICX model is a reference layout except for an extra fan header on the PCB that is not there on the FE reference PCB design.
     
    The fan header interferes with the water block mating correctly.
     
    Users have gotten around this by either dremeling a notch in the acrylic\POM top of the water block to clear the header, or they just remove the plastic shroud of the header and bend the pins over to get the clearance needed to clear the water block. The later would void the warranty of the card and the former would void the warranty on the water block.
     
    I attached pics of an FE PCB layout and your model PCB layout. The only difference is the extra fan header on your model's PCB

    If I remember correctly, the PCB of your ICX model is a reference layout except for an extra fan header or a fan header on the PCB that is in a different spot than the FE reference PCB design.
     
    The fan header interferes with the water block mating correctly.
     
    Users have gotten around this by either dremeling a notch in the acrylic\POM top of the water block to clear the header, or they just remove the plastic shroud of the header and bend the pins over to get the clearance needed to clear the water block. The later would void the warranty of the card and the former would void the warranty on the water block.
     
    I attached a pic of the FE reference card and circled the header in question which is not present on the FE PCB but the holes for it are there.


    Has anyone read my post? The block I quoted fits the SC2 with ICX which has the fan header and the EK-FC Geforce GTX FE" family of blocks accommodate this with a cut-out in the correct position in the acrylic. The reason the SC2 is on the list in the first place is because I sent EK information showing how it did fit unmodified (no dremeling or removal the fan header shroud & bending pins over required). So unless the OP card's fan header is in a different location to where it is on the SC2 (and I doubt it as it probably uses the same PCB), this family of blocks will be suitable.
     
    See below for the fan header position on the SC2:

    Yes, however the details you list in this Post actually give much more information than your first Post abbreviated below:

    I've not bothered to search for an image of you PCB & the OP's to confirm if they are indeed the same.

    That is why I directed OP to contact EK or check other brands ... Time for the OP to do their homework
