I've been wanting to watercool my 1080 ti for some time now, finally got all the parts. Had to order GPU block from China. Reservoir/Pump was the gift that pushed me towards finishing.

On air, my max overclock was around 2055MHz on custom bios with the whole card reaching up to 71C. Red Dead Redemption 2 would not work at 2055MHz, without crashing my card. had to lower core clock to get it to run. I do live in the dessert where my ambient temps are 35-40C during the summer. My power limit would reach around 128% MAX.
On water, my max overclock is 2088MHz but its not very stable for most games. I'm able to run it flawlessly at 2076MHz without reaching more than 90% power limit and staying under 41C. I used alphacool 11wk thermal pads instead of the supplied Bykski ones. The bykski block feels heavy and extremely well made. Have had it running for 2 weeks now without a single leak or issue. I'm able to play any game at 2076MHz and only some at 2088MHz, which leads me to believe I have the limit of my particular K|NGP|N. I was hoping for a better memory overclock, as I'm only able to put +500 on memory whether it's on Air or Water.
I did all this so I can play mine craft with shaders at max fps.
