Need help I bought a used custom water-cooled gaming PC a few years ago. It always had a slow leak, but now it’s fully leaking from the GPU block. I’m ready to ditch the custom loop and go back to air or AIO cooling for easier maintenance.

The big issue: my GPU (EVGA RTX 2080 Super, 08G-P4-3189-KR) came with a water block — so I don’t have the original air heatsink/fans to go back to. really hard finding a direct replacement cooler for it. ⸻ :desktop: My PC Specs: • GPU: EVGA RTX 2080 Super (08G-P4-3189-KR, no air cooler, just a leaking water block) • CPU: Intel Core i7-9700F (LGA1151) • RAM: 32GB DDR4 • Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z390 • Monitor: 240Hz (1080p or 1440p) • PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GA (850W, Gold-rated) • Case: White mid-tower with decent airflow
