So Im planning on doing a custom water cooled build and going over the top with gtx 1080's in SLI. Im planning on installing custom water blocks and backplates on my own. I plan on overclocking the cards as well. There are so many 1080's to choose from and quite frankly am overwhelmed.
So the question is after removing the bulk of the card, fans, heatsinks etc., what are the differences in the cards?
I know that some have different power pin connecters (8 pin, 6 pin, both) and require more power and some have more phases. I heard having more phases makes the card more stable.
What card shold i go with that is most stable when I overclock the cards myself?
Am I making a big deal about this? Im short of a noobie
FYI, Im not going with the MSI Seahawk since esthetically I want different block and backplate
Thanks for your responses in advance
