What a block on Palit GeForce RTX™ 5080 GamingPro V1 (NE75080019T2-GB2031Y)

[Joujej]

Hello everyone,
I have a Palit GeForce RTX 5080 GamingPro V1 graphics card (NE75080019T2-GB2031Y) and I need advice on which water block to choose for it.
I looked at the configurator on the Alphacool website and there is only the NE75080019T2-GB2031A model listed (the GamingPro model without "V1").
I also looked for the PCB layout of these GB2031A and GB2031Y models to see if the card would be compatible with the Alphacool Core Geforce RTX 5080/5070Ti GamingPro with Backplate block
Article number: 14741, but I couldn't find anything.
Could you please advise me?
Thank you

V1 is only without a vapor chamber cooling. PCB is the same like non V1 with a vapor chamber. They have only changed the air cooler.

Thanks for the answer.
I also read this somewhere, but I need to be sure.
From what you have said, it follows that the block Article number: 14741 will fit the card model NE75080019T2-GB2031Y.
Is that so? Thank you.

 

[Eddy]

Yes, the cooler will fit, don`t worry. We pnly forgot to update the compatibility list.

Great, thank you. I'm very happy with it. I'll order it as soon as possible, although the temperatures of the graphics card, with the existing cooler, are very good.
But your products are simply beautiful in the computer.

Hello,
I have one more question about this water block...
I want to paint some of its marked dark parts white and I'm wondering if there's a way to remove the chrome inserts with threads for the fittings so I don't have to tape them.
By the way, I have to praise this water block for its excellent workmanship and the temperatures I'm reaching with it.

Hi @Joujej

The lower black strip should be easy to remove; it's only for the RGB lighting and is screwed on from below.
However, the black cover for the connection terminal should be more difficult. I'd recommend taping it over; the chrome connectors themselves can't be removed since they're the actual terminal.
Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you whether or how you can remove the cover yourself, as I don't currently have a card like that to try.

Best Regards

Hello and thank you for the answer and clarification. So I'd rather not interfere with the block and try to use just some tape. Have a great time and thank you.

I bought this block to use with my Gaming Pro, it is a nice block but doing a compare side to side with what contacts the air cooler there were a couple of missing hit points on the water block that the instructions don't cover and the water block would not touch, mainly the two strips near the front of the card, 14714 only hits one of them with very thin thermal pad and ignores the other strip next to it, leaves no contact, plus one of the black square things near the rear region, on air cooler this pad is on the fins.

I removed the air cooler pads and used them in this block fitment, all other pads seem to touch where they needed fine.

Just a heads up, not sure if installing as directed could lead to any long term issue, so you may want to review? Not sure if it is a variation but mine was a NE75080019T2-GB2031A

Throwing in a few spare thermal pads with the block package could be a helpful addition for any differences. the air cooler pads were pretty squishy and did not appear to foul main GPU core contact etc, so I used them, hence them not being in the photo.

I provided my own pads for the missing one up front.

Getting good temps and performance with this block otherwise. Nice to remove the air cooler that would exhaust over the DDR5
