@@waltonnorris7527 - ASUS is looking into it. I have two cards and a 32" monitor. I just pulled a bonehead mistake not realising that apparently, the goofy LED strip made it a completely different layout. I mean why? Why would you not want the most universal and flexible platform. I do get, loops are rare by number - and I should have never purchased without 100% certainty.
@@DelHollowProductions It use to be much more simple because everyone used the reference design but a few. It would be nice if the manufactures of the water blocks would make it easier to find out if they cover your card or not. All this running around comparing PCB's is a PITA if you ask me. Almost makes it not worth doing anymore. There is no doubt it's an enthusiast hobby nowadays.
@waltonnorris7527 - these high end cards, for gaming and AI, do draw a lot of watts - and so you end up with monster coolers. The cards are not all that big so, a water block would not be that big of a deal. And since it appears that the future is more GPU than CPU, it's really going to be an opportunity for everyone. The first reviewers sorta trashed Arrow Lake, many trashed AMD too. Some of that is (imo) Microsoft playing major games in Windows 11. They are hard in the paint on user data access and hardware control. If AI helps me remove backgrounds, and meme better... Well.... Maybe that's something I might like. I thought, I might try gaming again. I haven't since Diablo II. I bought a PS4 (?) for my son to play on visits. I played a little Witcher, Assassin's Creed and two others - never got the hang of consoles. And I read Sweet Baby Inc is ruining countless storylines. I dunno....
@@DelHollowProductions Love Diablo! Play iV with my boys now. They use to make universal blocks, but those are hard to find anymore. I agree that GPU's definitely benefit more than current CPU's, but I mainly do it for the looks and silence, LOL. Anyways, make an update once you get it resolved.
You could also try the Corsair universal water block, but is is fugly.
