so it looks like the g12 bracket now fits the rtx cards without modding, I asked nzxt and this was the conversation
 
(10:02:26 PM) Peter Neufeld: g12 bracket
(10:02:56 PM) *** Dominic joined the chat ***
(10:03:01 PM) Dominic: Hello, and thank you for contacting NZXT. How can I help you today?
(10:03:34 PM) Peter Neufeld: i have a question about the g12 bracket
(10:04:00 PM) Peter Neufeld: on your website its says it support the rtx graphics card, is this correct?
(10:04:25 PM) Dominic: Yes
(10:05:06 PM) Peter Neufeld: but when i go to a retailer like new egg or amazon it doesnt show support for the rtx series
(10:05:21 PM) Peter Neufeld: so how do i know if i am getting the newest g12 bracket?
(10:05:36 PM) Dominic: We only have one G12
(10:06:32 PM) Peter Neufeld: but if you look here 
(10:06:42 PM) Peter Neufeld: it shows no support for the rtc cards
(10:06:44 PM) Peter Neufeld: rtx
(10:07:01 PM) Dominic: Amazon probably just hasn't updated their site.
(10:07:10 PM) Dominic: But we only have 1 G12 Bracket that we made.
(10:07:35 PM) Peter Neufeld: so the g12 will have a specific bracket for the rtx card?
(10:08:21 PM) Dominic: Yes
(10:08:21 PM) Dominic: RTX uses the "A" brackets for mounting
(10:09:08 PM) Peter Neufeld: ah ok thanks.
(10:09:24 PM) Dominic: You are welcome.
(10:10:04 PM) Peter Neufeld: i am using a evga 2080 ti, the use the refernce pcb , same as the founders edition, so the g12 bracket should fit correct?
(10:10:40 PM) Peter Neufeld: they use the refernce pcb***
(10:11:41 PM) Dominic: Yes
(10:11:43 PM) Dominic: It will fit.
(10:12:23 PM) Peter Neufeld: perfect.
thanks for your time
(10:12:53 PM) Dominic: You are welcome!
(10:13:36 PM) Peter Neufeld: haved a good night
(10:14:20 PM) Dominic: Have a good one!

I tried to resize the oversized graphic for you ... it reverted back to the web code default size ......

That's glorious news so for those in a hurry can go grab the AIO bracket and AIO cooler from them.  Of course I'd recommend a 240mm rad for these GPUs.

Seen alot of Reddit guys saying they had to use the AMD bracket and file down the side etc etc.
So I wanted to make sure before I ordered, I have one come in Monday or Tuesday

will be interested to see your results. What case and cpu cooler ya using ?

I have a Corsair 460x case, and I already have a Kraken x52 on my i7 8700 k, the Kraken is on the front of the case.
For the GPU I was thinking of going Corsair just because it's more simple with less cables and you don't really see any of the RGB anyways. But I don't know if I could put a 240 mm rad on the top I think it might hit my Ram. So that just leaves the rear to put a AIO cooler on which is 120 mm

I was wondering what radiator would be competent enough to cool a 2080ti. I've got a corsair h55i 120mm rad and it keeps my 1080fe oc (+200core +575mem) in games at mid to high 40c range. Summer it hit around 51c, now that "winter is coming " it's around 40-45c. This is with 62% fan speed. It looks like the wattage for a 2080ti is similar to the 1080ti under max load so I would suspect it would run around the same as a 1080ti. I'm going to guess low 50c to high 50c in the summer with the same radiator and fan speed. I'm more concerned with vram temps. What will the ddr6 vram temps be like without a heatsink on and just a fan blowing on them? I'm wondering if it would be beneficial to buy a few m2 ssd drive style heatsinks and lay them across the ram.
 
 

yeah i bought cheap vram heatsinks for my 1080. definitely going to explore doing the same or better this round.

Supposed to come November 13th-15th, going to install over the weekend never taking apart a GPU before so this is kind of new territory. I have dellided CPUs and such so hopefully not much more terrifying than that lol

To get you more comfortable, I would check out this youtube video from EVGA to get more confident about it.  Just remember this isn't identical but similar to what you'll be doing.  It won't be that hard.  I would even use some quality TIM like MX-4 since you'll be disassemble the GPU for a hybrid kit.

I Posted some pics on the forum of my lil mod I did to get the H100I v2 and G12 bracket to fit my 2080Ti.. Great operational temps and idles at 29-32c

NZXT said it should just fit with the" a bracket" with no modification

How is the memory getting cooled though ? Seems on the Evga hybrids it has a copper plate that attaches to the pump.

Believe it or not, the little fan takes care of it better than using the stock cooler/fans.

I just remembered when i modded my 1080fe I needed a pwm adapter and splitter for the rad fan to be controlled by the gpu. It's not necessary but it's nice to have. costed an extra 12 bucks to do. I'm not sure if this will be required yet for the 2080ti. Possibly not considering it has two fans. I'll update after thanksgiving.

I'm sorry to be a Debbie Downer but I applied the NZXT G12 bracket to my 980 Ti Classified card with a Kraken X42 and ruined my card.  Your experience might be better.  I believe the Kraken copper plate didn't meet well enough with the GPU.  Everything looked hunky dory but wasn’t.  Temps looked fine until I tried running the old GeForce Apollo demo.  It smoked it.  If I could reverse time I would probably add a copper shim just to be safe.

That sucks! I actually had a Gigabyte 980 ti under a G10 and a Kraken X41 and it worked just fine. Then, for a short while, an EVGA 980 Ti Classified under the same setup until I stepped up to an EVGA 1080 FE, and then did their generous re-stepup (I forget that offer name, it's been the only time that I've seen it) to an EVGA 1080 Ti FE - all under that same G10 and X41 without any issues.

I even recently purchased a used, non-EVGA 1080 Ti FE and put it under another G10 and Kraken to no I'll effect.

got the g12 and a corsair h75, going to try and install tonight!
wish me luck!

Gl. I was actually going to do it earlier today but I spent the last two hours trying to find my heatsinks and mx4 paste lol. I finally found it but I'll probably wait until tomorrow morning to attempt

thanks for reminding me, thermal paste was in the car and its almost freezing out lol.
