I know!
I've got a 2080 with an EK block set up in a loop with two 420 rads an a 360 (although the 7900X heats it up a bit) and temps for the GPU are normally low 40s this time of year with a room temp of 15-20c.

I wish I knew dude. I've never seen a GPU run this low a temp, especially under these conditions. I bumped the memory OC up to 1000, so it's +250 / +1000 now, and it still cannot hit 36C. But keep in mind that my man cave is pretty chilly, 18C most days. When I first installed the GPU block, I was completely convinced the numbers were somehow being misreported. But after pounding on it, they appear to be legit. Prior to this, the lowest temps I've seen on a GPU were low 40s. HeatKiller GPU blocks + MX-4 paste FTW!!

With Final Fantasy VII remake due shortly I picked a 500gb slim and God of Boy, Bloodborne, The last of us remastered. All cheap 2nd hand off ebay play the games I want and maybe resell it at a later date, but this is the first time where a game makes me want to pick up a console again and that hasn't happened since the original ff7 so hopefully it's as good as it looks. As for other games not sure atm but a few to start me is nice only looking to play exclusives and no online games just the basic titles that are PS4 only.

Just be very careful if you are going to block an RTX. It's a minefield.
Asus make 12 cards with the same cooler, only a few of them are different. It's impossible to tell which is which until you try to fit the block.
I'm annoyed, but I would be even more annoyed if I just spent £450 for a card I cannot use. As it stands I have to swallow the £45 EK tax (which could have been worse, that was on sale) and send back the Barrow. I could have ended up with £450 worth of gear I had no use for, as I am not using air GPUs in my rig at home.
well if going with EK, its not difficult to look up the compatibility chart. Its clear enough which cards work with which block. You just look for SKU number on the gpu.
Bitspower do it also.
take the first block I found for example. Top of the list
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2070 Advanced, DUAL-RTX2070-A8G, 8GB GDDR6, (90YV0C85-M0NA00)
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2070 OC, DUAL-RTX2070-O8G, 8GB GDDR6, (90YV0C82-M0NA00)
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2080 Advanced, DUAL-RTX2080-A8G, 8GB GDDR6, (90YV0C32-M0NM00)
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2080 OC, DUAL-RTX2080-O8G, 8GB GDDR6 (90YV0C30-M0NA00)
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Evo, DUAL-RTX2080S-8G-EVO, 8GB GDDR6, (90YV0DJ2-M0NM00)
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER OC Evo, DUAL-RTX2080S-O8G-EVO, 8GB GDDR6, (90YV0DJ0-M0NM00)
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2080, DUAL-RTX2080-8G, 8GB GDDR6, (90YV0C33-M0NM00)
And these SKU numbers should be visible when you order the GPU.

As the rubber was starting to deteriorate on my Asus ROG Spatha I was trying to find a mouse with no rubberised surface or rubber fittings, After trying a friends mouse I finally found a mouse with zero amounts of rubberised surface, The Asus ROG Chakra, Little pricey but worth it, Will be here tomorrow

Sadly it wasn't that simple. There are many more dual models than that, including V2 models and all sorts.
I'm pretty sure now that EK are the only ones making blocks for the analogue version. Also note they are 180 or so euro on EK which I didn't want to spend. 125 delivered once I knew which block I needed though was fine. Stings, but I paid more than that for my XP AC block.
I blame Asus for this not EK. I also blame CCL for being murky with the details. End of the day it's sorted.
Let me know how the Mouse is dice. I kinda like the Chakra. Nice idea with the thumstick but I can't decide if it is useful or merely a gimmick.
I know. I just pasted the top of the list. They include literally every GPU in that list. But wasn't going to paste the whole thing here.

Funny part searching EKs site is a crap shoot. Put your GPU into Google however and it works much better lol. It's not EK's fault tbh dude. Not at all. In fact, I am very glad they have pretty much rescued me because no one else makes a block for this GPU. It's done now (check thread for pics, Time Sync) and yeah, I am happy. My back plate will work too with a little 3m tape. And I really like the back plate Asus supplied too. In fact, I do like the whole card. Deffo one of the best looking stealth GPUs in ages.
Annnnd, this block will fit the 2080 Dual, 2080 Super dual etc. I am keeping the Barrow because it fits blower 2080Ti (Zotac and Dell) as well as stock 2080 FE and 2080Ti FE. Oh and Titan RTX too.

got here today the box it came in was very nice, but it was battered and ripped
actual hoodie is really nice and can tell it gona be super warm, doubt i be needing it this year since temps have gone up but it real nice
chucked it in the wash (don't get ppl who buy new cloths and don't wash them beforehand)
hand written on with my name on it was a nice touch also the free fan at the bottom of the box woop woop

So was my birthday the other day and was lucky enough to be gifted this
Went from this version 2 of the H100 series (launched in 2015)
To the newest H100 series
Gotta say just initial impressions using the same fans across both, Noctua NF-a12x215, my temps at idle are 10C lower with NO spikes going to 60ish when compiling code/other intensive tasks.
In gaming 20-30C lower. Went from about high 60s-mid 70s in say R6S but just a quick match with this new one got me around 40-50C. Fans are barely spinning too.
Quickly tested in my NCASE M1 v6
So I did know my old h100 was getting old. It was getting louder and especially at startup the liquid moving was quite noticeable. It was getting hotter faster and I do truly think without these awesome Noctua's the temps would have been crazy out of control. Plus the copper baseplate was starting to discolor to a darker brown/blackish color for the past probably 18-24 months
So when they say permutation is a thing, they really mean it! Who would have thought fresh liquid drops temps
Only dislike so far is iCUE software. I want to manage my fan rpms through the software but it's pretty barebones. You get 3 preset profiles and 1 custom fixed %. That's it. This is annoying because the 2 fan headers are directly connected to the pump and cannot be removed. This means if you don't use them they are there anyway and requires more cable management. Which is tedious in a small 12L case.
Might just go back to Using my y-splitter and connect my fans to the CPU header directly and control it through my motherboard. More control that way.
edit: just noticed my GPU temps seem to be anywhere from 2-7C lower with this new setup as well. I am assuming less heat soaking on the board and around the socket is helping the GPU out.

So my second Corsair MM800CE edition crapped itself and since it's out of warranty there's no way in hell Corsair will support it so I threw it away and bought this today instead and I've gotta say it's pretty bloody impressive not so much the RGB which is subtle but the cloth itself is almost like velvet it's unreal and I like it alot!

It arrived last Wednesday (before the lock down announced last night here in the United Kingdom) - I've not had a chance to post the pics up before now owing to work commitments (my profession has been designated that of a Key Worker).
Direct from Caseking Germany I present...
