Hello!
I want to watercool my 980 ti (going sli) and was wondering if anyone knew if the XSPC Razor GTX 980 would be compatible with my 980 ti? Or would i need to get XSPC Razor GTX Titan / 780 / 780Ti V2 Waterblock? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank yoU!
 
Reference 980 Ti water blocks are compatible with EK Reference Titan X water block. Historically, EK has substantially outperformed XSPC. Again, historically, XSPC has led with PU temps by 1C or so, but trailed badly in VRAM and VRM temps.

Couldn't say ... with the 15C temperature disadvantage on the VRMs, it's not something I would consider as this is going to affect the max OC of the card more than anything else.

Just a note on the graphs, I believe EK is making EVGA blocks now. My guess is it's a price thing, Swiftech makes great stuff but the blocks are a bit pricy.

The price point EVGA wanted for the Hydrocopper didn't allow for a anything that great. As water cooling a reference PCB is not something I would be interested in, I have never considered a water cooled EVGA card other than the Classified. Doesn't seem to make sense to water cool a stock VRM.
