GPU Water Cooling Blocks

[Nisagami]

Wouldn't be grate that u could buy GPU Water Cooling Blocks instead of the full combo (Blocks+GPU's).

Why? You want them to show a little animation of installing the block on the card?

I highly doubt that's the reason. However, it'd certainly be nice to watercool a K|NGP|N card.

I agree with Turbo, it would be a nice if we could install a waterblock onto our favorite cards, instead of a waterblock installed on a proprietary card design, but I highly doubt that the devs will get a licens, that would make this possible in the future.

The only problem with this is right now in game, the actual design features of a card (the card's bios and it's power limits on different cards, dual-8-pin-power vs 6+8, some cards with better air coolers, etc) don't effect a card's overclockability or performance in-game. Right now, (other than a higher stock boost clock) all 1080 Ti's run the same on air, when overclocking. And we just have "Binning", sadly. So right now there's physically no point in water cooling any other cards other than those they have provided us other than looks.

Hey, calm down. I just post that becasue, imo, it'd add more realistic to the game. In real life, you have to buy the block and install it to your GPU, at least in my country haha. That's all.

Some GPU companies -DO- sell pre-installed blocks for custom water loop. EVGA has Hydro Copper, and Gigabyte has some Aurorus models that come pre-installed with a custom loop block too.

Oh, didn't know that tbh. I've just built my own pc and i had to install the watercooling by my own :/

Agreed. Hopefully though, the devs will do right by their game and customers and implement a more realistic overclocking and cooling overhaul prior to full release.

I could not agree more with you both.
The overclocking and cooling definitely need a good overhaul, to create more realism to the game.

Plus, there are jobs that require especifically that: installing water blocks on GPUs, and currently are certain failures due to the lack of such block.

Exactly! I think that's more kinda mistake in the values... Also the budget is wrong...
