I have the card water cooled. Yes, it is a struggle and I have already recommended to someone else to order the EKWB block. With the one from Aquatuning, the processor had no real contact with the cooler, and I had to shorten the thread by about 2mm so that the contact pressure was right. I think there is no longer any guarantee. Reaching Aquatuning was also a disaster in this case and I could not rate the article.
But it works. Temperatures GPU temp 1 max 55 GPU temp 2 max 88 read out in Afterburner.
The temp 2 was always the problem but I didn't find out where GPU sensor 2 is... So overclocking works but don't expect OC miracles.

I have the card with me now... get no answer from ASUS as expected.... 😒
I have seen that the card has springs at the bottom to screw the heatsink... would that really help to disassemble the new WP to make pure and the card again to screw just tighten more... have also read with rubber washers should also already go... do not need the card for excessive... just normal daddeln.... no OC or similar...
Thanks for your feedback 😉✌ I'm really completely lost as far as that's concerned.
