IT’S UPGRADE TIME! Today we unbox my brand new AORUS XTREME RTX 2080 Ti, install the EK Vector Aorus RTX 2080 Ti RGB Water Block, get it all installed in my Custom Water Cooled PC, and give it a quick test in F1 2019 at stock clock speeds.
This video will be a great help for anyone looking to install a water block on an RTX 2080 Ti in addition to EK’s installation instructions for the water block and backplate.
In my opinion at the time of making this video, the AORUS XTREME RTX 2080 Ti is the best available graphics card for Sim Racing due to its high clock speed and multi-monitor configuration options.
