    What water-block for ASUS KO RTX 3070 OC?

    It's interesting your observation about the pads that were too thin in the EK kit. I actually was surprised of the opposite with the Bykski kit, with these thick pads. Now, I guess thick is better than thin, in this context. Regarding spending time while installing Win 11 concerned that the GPU...

    Hi Azael, I used the pads included in the Bykski box. They look to be 2 mm thick, which is in the larger spectrum, but they fitted without issues.

    Glad it helped you. There is very little info about compatibility for VGA waterblocks and often it is all about trying them.

    Good point about having done it already to know what to do. No issue with the quality, though. This is my second Bykski videocard water-block. Both times I opted for this brand because it was the only one making blocks for my cards. Eventually, I can confirm that the quality is very good...

    It is thick. Likely 1 mm or more. The pads were included in the block packaging.

    Giving up on buying a new card

    I do not know... I may do something wrong with the settings, but here my numbers 2080ti and 3070 For whatever reason I could not get 4K with the 3070 unless with exclusive fullscreen OFF, but anyway here it is. I see similar improvement with RDR2 and Control. I am one of those "fools" to play...

    Giving up on buying a new card

    I was trying to purchase ANYTHING for months. In December 2020, found an RTX 3070 (Asus KO OC) at my local Microcenter for $582.99 including taxes. I thought to upgrade to a Radeon 6900 XT as soon as possible. I was such a dreamer... I installed a Bykski waterblock for the DUAL version from the...

    That's good. Maybe it is just my bad luck with things... or with people. Anyway, I'm glad that you got your block too.

    I'm happy that you got it. I had some bad customer experiences with PPCS last year, so I stopped buying from them.

    I was wondering the same before ordering. I saw some good reviews, but what do they really mean? Reviews can always be faked. Anyway, I paid with PayPal, so I felt protected. Interesting note (at least for me): FormulaMod does not load-up with a VPN, so I had to close my VPN (IPVanish). It took...

    It's done! The block arrived on Jan 15th. Below the steps for installing it. I ordered the GPU block, RGB, and back-plate. No instructions included! I had to guess what goes where, but it was not my first GPU block to install, so I managed. The block is stunning: First, remove the original...
