Did you flush the old loop and new parts before assembly ? Could it be air trapped in your loop ? How long did you run it for leak testing ? What is your room temp ? Fan speeds ?

Rotate your Computer 360 or even upside down to clear them out. Tap of your Tubes to help move the Small Air Bubbles out of the Block. Do you have a Flow Meter in your Loop? Is the Pump set to 5? What RPM is the Pump running? A Pain but did you do a Flow test before you installed the cards?

Well that's kind of terrible. My own ghetto setup of 2x 1080Ti with EK waterblocks run at 40C at max load during colder days and about 46C when its really hot outside (no AC involved). Single D5 for now at setting 4 with 480/30 x-flow rad. I don't think that trapped air is the issue. It can't be. My Ti are mounted at 90 degrees and all remaining air was pushed down to the terminal and out without any problems in the first 24 hours of work. Either its block fault of flow restriction is so high that it slowed fluid to a crawl. One of the reasons why I never buy Hydrocopper models or any other waterblock for VGAs/CPUs covered with acetal. Only clear plexi. Oh and BTW blocks for 9xx series were much less restrictive than for 10xx. I don't know about EVGA blocks but looking at other vendors liquid is on purpose forced to slow on the core (mircochannels are perpendicular to the flow) while with 9xx liquid was simply pushed through microchannels (parallel with flow).

I have NEVER had a Flow Issue with the EVGA Hydro Copper Water Block and I have had a lot of them from the GTX 690 680 780 980 and 1080. The OP should complete a Flow Test on Each Water Block to Confirm that the Hydro Copper Water Block is the Cause or not.

This is not good if EVGA said that it is a known issue with this Hydro Copper Water Block. What card do you have? EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 TI SC2 Hydro Copper GAMING, 11G-P4-6599-KR, 11GB GDDR5X, Hydro Copper Waterblock & RGB LED, iCX Technology - 9 Thermal Sensorsor this Model EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 TI SC Hydro Copper GAMING, 11G-P4-6399-KR, 11GB GDDR5X, Hydro Copper Waterblock & LEDor this Model EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 TI FTW3 iCX Hydro Copper GAMING, 11G-P4-6699-KR, 11GB GDDR5X, Hydro Copper Waterblock & RGB LED, iCX Technology - 9 Thermal Sensors Or all the 1080 Ti Hydro Copper Water Block Bad?

So in the end it was flow restriction, but not from the card. Glad you solved this conundrum.  One of the things I don't like about EK Supremacy blocks. You can put it wrong by mistake, while Bitspower approach with Summit model is completely foolproof. No matter what you do, can't put it wrong.

EK blocks have an in/out marker.. they also have a flow path insert that can be placed backward, lol. You technically can not put the insert in backward, because it doesn't fully seat, but it looks close. You can tell when it is the correct way, because it won't "wiggle"... backwards, it wiggled just a little and doesn't lock in place.  Glad you got it all figured out.

Glad you got it figured out! And don't beat yourself up, I think we all do similar silliness from time to time. I know I did just that on my new build this weekend, which I won't go into now, but I said the exact same thing to myself "you're an idiot" lol. It just shows you're human and none of us are perfect. I applaud you on finding the problem and fixing it!
