2x rtx 2080 build

[caleidocane]

Hi everyone,
I work with 3d graphics and render a lot, i've buyed 2x rtx 2080 (msi turbo oc, and similar gigabyte turbo oc).
Now when hit render seems like a wind tunnel! I'm trying to find a best (and cheap) way to get, only, the 2 gpu watercooled.
But I don't know which kind of punmp and radiator are good for my purpouse, i don't need anything colorated, best if it's minimal style, but i'm looking for a cheap and good solution, like pump with tank and waterblock. No need to cpu watercooling or other...
Thank you so much

Hey, have you checked it out at our shop for a possible block that fits the graphics card?

Hi Metropolis! so I've seen in the configurator, that there are different models, this one seems good https://www.alphacool.com/search?sSearch=11683

but i don't know what kind of pump radiator etc.. i need for my purpouse. I've also seen the AIO cooler, but i think for 2 gpu's is better choose the custom build? don't you think?

AIO or DIY.... there is no bid difference because we are using DIY components for our AIO cooler. ;-)

For 2 x RTX 2080 i would prefere a 360 mm ST30 radiator. That is enough. Sure... bigger radiatorspace is always better.... but its not really needed.

Have you check the PCB number of the graphics card? Does it match with the GPU block?

 

[caleidocane]

so can I for example have 2 aio and 1 single radiator?

Have you check the PCB number of the graphics card? Does it match with the GPU block?

no i simply check in the configurator the correct model, but which kind of code do you refer at?

 

[Metropolis34]

There must be a number on the original packaging or on the fornt/back side of the card. The PCB number of MSI cards starts with a V. For example V372-008R

ok i will check, hope i do not demounting, because i'm on rendering until weekend...

 

[caleidocane]

assuming it is a compatible block (now I can't take the cards apart to see the code but I will do it these days), for a two gpu system, which pump and which tank would I need?

 

[Metropolis34]

Mostly the number is on the original packaging. If you have it there is no need to dismount anything.

 

[caleidocane]

ah the original packaging... mmmm

i've got those grabbed from the system information, but I don't think are good for you:

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1E87&SUBSYS_37A81458&REV_A1\4&25ACB5F&0&001A
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1E82&SUBSYS_37231462&REV_A1\4&1C3D25BB&0&0019

 

[Metropolis34]

No dude this numbers does not help ^^

That is a reference design PCB.

That are blocks for this card:
