Hi att all, my new gigabyte aorus 1080 ti extreme is in delivering, i have to appli water cooling on it, but i dont see any waterblock ufficial compatible on the market, anyone knwo if "Aquacomputer Kryographics Pascal Waterblock, Acrylic Glass+Nickel-plated, for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080/1070 Founders GPU" is compatible, or any other else solution??
 
According to EKWB (trusteable company in WaterCooling world) looks like the AORUS from Gigabyte is using a custom PCB, so, the Founders PCB isn't compatible with it so, that water block which you selected will be not compatible with your card.

Looks like they're currently building it, so its just time to be out.

Thanks for your reply, very usefull, i have in preorder the waterblock but looking immage of it https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc1080-gtx-ti-aorus-nickel, and lookink on video for disassembly air cooler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCBzhZlzFoE i see 2 possible problem, whit ekwb waterblock is possible use original backplate, any screw seems different, to be clear the screw give backplate stick the videocard
Second i see the original fancooling provide to dissipate heat to the component stamping on its "magik r22" http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/aorus-gtx-1080-ti-xtreme-edition,review-33896-2.html, while the waterblock seems not cover its, anyone know the reason???
