Which Thermal Grizzly is that?...
As it was only £1 I bought a months Xbox Game Pass For Windows, Amazing deal considering I can now fully play and complete Gears of War 5 and Metro Exodus without having to fork out £100 ^_^
Also got a bonus from work so decided to splurge, Same exact PCB as the Founders Edition, Just a different cooler and IO bracket but has a full metal backplate, 1 for myself which will be getting aftermarket cooling and 1 as a mega early crimbo surprise for my younger brother who is upgrading from a 970... he doesn't know he's upgrading yet though ^_^
What model GPU is it?

Zotac 2080 Ti Blower, It's basically just a 2080 Ti Founders Edition with a blower cooler and no LED.

I will only excuse your weak will if you water cool it
No one can excuse his weak will! I give it 1 week before the usual "had to return it because of XXX fault"

That's actually the plan but I'd need to do my CPU aswell so I'm eyeing up EK kits

Nah... No overclocking or anything, Just set power limit to max, 1:1 fan curve and leave it alone ^_^
Bought a boring old kit of 2x8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM for £30 on eBay since the generic old 2x4GB sticks seemed to be causing instability anyway, dropped in nicely and my old desktop systems stopped hanging when compiling VS solutions with several projects (Or opening 30 tabs) now

We should have badges here. Like scout badges.
Dice needs his water wings
I really do, I'm actually eyeing up Corsairs stuff, Looks nice and simple and quite stylish IMO.

Good because I'm not a fan of ek. Style over substance imo.
Remember, the rads and fittings will last you a lifetime, so choose wisely. Don't be afraid to drop your nuts, because you can reuse the hell outta it.
I quite like Corsair's stuff. Still love Bitspower above all else.

I'd wait a week, the hassle wouldn't be worth it IMO.

Thing is I have Corsairs 360mm AIO for my CPU so if I do the CPU aswell I'd want to get a 360mm rad for it aswell as the block which is getting costly.
Get off the AIOs, especially Corsair. That company is crap now. Get your water wings as Alien said and go custom loop!
Fittings can actually deteriorate the more you dismantle your loop. Especially the rotaries and O-rings in company of hard line tubing.
Soft tube you can re use all day ever day, but even with chamfered edges, hard tube does cause more wear and tear every time you insert them. Either that or the O ring loses its compressed tight seal around the tube.
Bitspower for life though! definately agree there. Quite liking the Barrow as the alternative too.

Speaking of Corsair....when I built my 3900X system I planned on re-using my Corsair H105 until I could go full water. During the swap I noticed my case was sticky in the bottom. Turns out the H105 has a pin hole leak in it. Warranty just ran out July 30th of this year. I'm waiting now to see if Bitspower releases a monoblock for the Crosshair 8 Impact then I'm going full custom water cooling for GPU and CPU.
So for now it's the retail heatsink!

No. Titan XP needed a 240 to shine, that's going to be worse now.
I'd go with at least 480 for the whole rig. 240 per unit. Either get good slim ones or those big old fat ones.
That should get you to saturation. Any more would be a waste, any less will get too warm.
I'd never go hard line. Just the aggro of swapping say a GPU puts my teeth on edge.
I can remove my GPU, put a bucket under it and remove the lower drain plug. Then attach a hose on a fitting, attach that to the other side of the GPU and blow. It's a 2 minute operation. That's why I leave some slack and let the tubes denote which way they want to go. And I prefer the more swoopy organic look of soft tubing.

Got it decently cheap, so building a server.
