The flat side does not go towards the block, the flat side has the black coating and goes towards the pcb to prevent short circuit and then the little black sticky washers go between the pcb and the screw head.

Well, EVGA support told me that the flat side goes towards the block and the insulation was supposed to be applied on the side with the protuberances
If they say something I assume is correct!

You need to read your directions better step #13. People did the same mistake with earlier hydro coppers and short circuited gpu's. The bracket is to prevent to much pressure on the die with pressure, when installed properly it will not stick up and prevent the block from contacting the gpu die.

The manual you’re referring to is for the KP block. I know this is a KP thread, but the issue is the same I had.
My card is a FTW3 and the HC manual is not as clear as the KP HC.
I did installed it properly, but the GPU is not stable.
EVGA support got back to me today, hopefully they’ll fix it.

That’s under load? Wow. What’s your setup again to refresh my memory?

Also - how did you keep the backplate on?

It stayed on its own, I did not lift if off the PCB.
Same as the FTW3/XC Graphics Cards, why some remove it I am not sure as the Directions tell you that you do not need to.
See EVGA RTX 2080 Ti K|NGP|N + HC Waterblock + Water/Chiller/Sub Zero Cooling Club for this setup.

Highest temp is 47°C on CPU core after TSE. This is with oc and reaching 2115 on the core. Its worse than the hybrid cooler but only 3° more than my 2080 ti XC2 Ultra when I had that in the system. THat did not have the monoblock in the loop.

Nice, I can never get my CPU that low when benchmarking.

Oof Supposed to say gpu core... 

,
Even Better keeping the GPU Below 50°C.
What is your GPU PCB Temperature? 

I'm going with 2x ek dual d5 serial pumps. Lol

That high restrictive KP block can suck on that.

Order placed.. so another $600 down the tubes.

One of these days I can finally say I'm done with the build. :/

Im just trying to figure out why everyone seems to say this block is restrictive, i have absolutely no flow issues. If you have restrictions, wouldn't it be better to do DDC pumps with a higher pressure to get it threw the restrictive area?

What TIM is everyone running on their blocks?

Ended up putting my 9900k on an AiO and soft tubing the Hydro copper block with a new pump. My temps are still gettting up to 48C on the gpu in Superposition 8k. I am using an Ek 360 with Corsair 120 pros in push pull and an EK d5 pump/res. I dont understand how a 240 slim AiO is out performing a Hydro copper.

On another note the RMA block they sent me wont let me screw in fittings so that's nice.

Then you are not putting it in correctly.

And What TIM are you using?
What Model EK 360? 
120mm Series Radiators
 
CoolStream XE series
CoolStream PE series
CoolStream SE series

Normal fittings. They worked on the original block. This new block just wont let me thread them all the way down. I tested it and it leaks. Having to do an RMA on an RMA

Photos would help, but if it is leaking then you are not using the correct fittings.
Use different Fittings before you RMA needlessly.

Dude, they are the same fitting for my original KP Hydro copper. This is the RMA. Why would they switch fitting sizes in between Replacement and original? They start to thread in then get halfway down and stop. I dont know why this seems hard to understand. I'm really wondering why the GPU temps are worse on a hydro copper then the Hybrid.

I do not think I would have used this TIM even in the Carts they are comparing to MX-2 and OLD TIM
Not if showing what the W/m.k
TF8 is 13.8 W/m.k and TFX is 14.3 W / m.k  Even MX-4 8.5 W/(mK) All are 8 Year TIM and NT-H2 is only 5 Year.

All the Ports are this way?
The Thread Size is a Standard and EVGA has not changed them. 
You GPU Temperature could be because you are using NT-H2.
Most members here recommend MX-4 as I have in the past, Now I am using TF8 and TFX.
 
On a Side Note this is the only Post on the Forums that I see the use of NT-H2.

I would not purchase Thermal Grizzly, I find that its extremely thick and very hard to apply correctly. Noctua especially the new formula (NT-H2) is very easy to apply...  

Ease of use has nothing to do with Performance

You are correct that ease of use has nothing to do with performance. I've used 3 different TIMs and it hasn't helped the temps at all. Thermal Grizzly which quite a few people have said is fine, NT-H2 and the TIM EVGA provided. All yielded the same temps. From what I've seen on the forums I'm not the only one who's had this issue. I'll probably stick the Hybrid cooler back on and call it a day. I've taken this block off 7 times and refitted it with and without the GPU bracket. No change I think this is just a hit and miss with the hydro copper kingpin. First block came broken by the screen like quite a few others and 2nd one has an issue with the threads. Probably going to see if I can get a refund for the block and use the hybrid. Probably wont ever get another hydro copper again. I understand some people have had a good experience with theirs, but that doesnt mean all of the blocks were made up to standards.

I actually used the TIM that come with the block, at the time the only thing I had was TG Conducto, it seems like all our temps are right around the same as well.

The same as mine? 48°C? If so that's pretty disappointing considering it's a $350+tax waterblock.
