Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme watercooled 3080 with 10GB of VRAM. This is the one with a real nickel plated copper block. Pics show installation for demo in Dec 2024.

Pros:

• It is a water cooled 3080.
• I had the paste and pads replaced in Oct 2023.
• It still has the Gigabyte mascot figurine.
• Pretty good thermals.

Cons:

• It is a water cooled 3080. You MUST have a custom water loop to use it.
• I lost the support jack (see hole in foam in pics), so you will need to mount it vertically or buy a good aftermarket GPU support.
• I removed the pretty sticker from the acrylic on the WB to clean the cooling fins in 2023. Acrylic is a little frosty.
• It draws 350 watts, so you need an appropriate power supply and cooling loop.

Video is of the card running FurMark with GPU-Z in background. Sorry about the whine and the burbles. The loop still had air in it but I wanted a video for this listing.
