Hi,
The pump in the AIO on my card just died. Does anyone know if I can get a replacement AIO or some other solution to keep this card cool? It's still a totally great card, I just need to cool it somehow. I've already contacted support to see if they could help me somehow. I'm hoping maybe they can sell me a replacement AIO or maybe an FTW air cooler.
Searching around I've found people talking about:
* Install a hydro copper waterblock and go full liquid
* I don't think this is an option I want to entertain. I can't even find the blocks barely anywhere. Found one for $200. So that + the rest of the liquid setup I might as well get a new GPU at that price.
* NZXT Kraken G12 GPU Mounting Kit
* Found one of these on Newegg, ships in 2-4 weeks
* I could then grab some CPU AIO, like a Kraken 120
* I'm not sure how this would affect the heatsink & heatsink + fan that's on either side of the die. Might have to remove them?
* I've got a small case with an itx board, I'm not sure if this whole assembly will be far too tall to fit in the space...
* Try to find an EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 heatsink/fan
* Found this:
* the hybrid I have has a heatsink for the vrms on either side. One side just a heatsink, the other side a much larger heatsink + fan. I guess I'd have to remove those to install the above?
* Try to find another Asetek CPU cooler and possibly pull the copper slug off my dead pump head and install it into the new one?
* Not sure where to even buy these Asetek aio's. Looks like it might be ebay only
* For example, this one looks like it has the same 8 screw copper slug, so I wonder if I could just pull it out and stick mine on:
* Does anyone think I could replace the copper slug on some other cpu AIO?
* I've got some images here of the pump head with the slug removed: -- You've got the copper slug and a rubber piece that sticks between the pump head and the copper. I'm thinking that a new AIO would probably have a different looking pump head but would come with a similar rubber piece that I could just stick to my copper slug.
Thanks
Edit: Looks like I can't post any links. Crud.
