Gallery 3080 FTW3 Ultra w EKWB / Nickel Backplate

[rjbarker]

A few changes:
- 1080Ti SLi gone and replaced with Evga 3080 FTW3 Ultra
- Full Cover Quantum Vector Water Block w Nickel Backplate
- Finally dug this "all nickel" EK Velocity all nickel CPU Block out og the closet.
- replaced the older D5 Vario pump w a new one {also had it in the closet)

Looped re-filled with some "older" EK Cryofuel, and is running great.

Benchmarks all seem on par for this system and running as number of titles such as Valhalla, RDR2 and Cyberpunk showing great frames and decent temps.
The 9900K w "slight" OC all cores at 5 Ghz max temps I see around 54c
The GPU settled on +140 Core / +600 Memory Steady Boost in games at 2100Mhz max temp 43c

Finally, a single Card worthy of replacing 2 Cards

That temp is gaming with all CPU down clocking settings disabled, so steady 5 Ghz all cores throughout.
The temps will shoot up to 75c running some intense CPU benchmarks, with AVX Benchmarks will push 85c !!
With only a single Card a little easier dealing with the loop.
I'm thinking of replacing the large XSPC Quad Rad (RX480) with a more manageable 360 Rad....thinking about this one....any thoughts on this Heatkiller, I like the chrome look....
