I'm looking to build a custom water cooling loop for my RTX 3080. I'm leaning towards EKWB blocks, but I'm open to suggestions. What are some good brands and what flow rates should I be looking for?

EKWB is a solid choice. Corsair Hydro X Series is also popular. For an RTX 3080, a flow rate of 1.5-2 GPM should be sufficient. Don't forget to factor in your pump's head pressure.

I’ve had great luck with Alphacool blocks. They’re often more affordable. Also, make sure your radiator is large enough – at least 360mm for an RTX 3080.

Agree with Alphacool! And check out Bitspower, they have some stunning designs. It’s all about the aesthetics, too!
