Same. I have a 1080ti my pal gave me…but it’s overclocked to all fuck, and I can’t afford to build a custom water-cooling loop to upgrade from the 1060…we’ll…I COULD afford it, but there’s other stuff that’s more importanter
Well, even underclocking it won’t make it run that cool. Sounds like a radiator & pump and tubing might be cheaper than buying a dead card and cannibalizing.
Or you could always try to sell it and get a newer card

Can’t you underclock it using MSI afterburner, so it’ll run cooler?
Sure! But my buddy had thrown away the stock cooling system and just gave me the card with the custom water block on it…
Maybe buy a broken one that has working fans and then yank the cooling.
That sounds an awful lot like work
Less work than setting up a water block solution lol
Yes, but then it’s also not as big a performance jump from what I have. I’m strategically lazy…

Yeah, just a whole lot of expenses going out right now. So even £150-200 is off the books for me atm
Then you get 1070p
Can’t argue with that!
I have a 2070 non-super just sitting around, PM me and perhaps I can sell it to you.
