That's great, my EVGA FTW3 is running nicely too.Yeah I know what you mean about summer time, it's hard to keep things cool. Have you considered water cooling? EVGA have hybrid coolers if you don't want to do full custom cooling: EVGA - Products - Cooling - Cooling - GPU HYBRID Cooler
Yeah, maybe on my next build I will add some more cooling ....but I am not making any changes now.That's great, my EVGA FTW3 is running nicely too.
Looks ok ...if you haven't bought your case yet, look at Phanteks cases, they make about the best ones. If I upgrade my 2080 Ti I will only get the one from Evga for it.... Yours looks very good thou Matt.
The EVGA Hydro Copper and EK Vector FTW3 (the one I have) are the only two waterblocks available for the EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3 GPU. I like the Hydro Copper too but decided on the EKWB block as it was a bit cheaper and I got free shipping on it.GPU waterblocks perform very much the same, the cooling environment, radiators, fans and coolant temperature determine performance.
The Phanteks are nice cases, which do you like? I have had my eye on the Lian Li 011 Dynamic for quite a while now. It's what they call a dual chamber or dual compartment case where the PSU goes in the back giving a rather unique main compartment look. It's the case Der8auer designed. It also has a unique side/vertical radiator mount. It's very popular for water cooling.

That is big case Mike, you could put 3x420mm radiators in there! Or a data center. The case I linked to (lian Li 011) is purely designed for watercooling with 360mm radiators, it's not an airflow case. It's quite small but plenty of cooling power.
Actually....
Smaller cases(in width) are better for air cooling, as the longer the distance air needs to flow, from intake to outtake, lets the air diffuse and the warm air accumulate in the case.

I'm not talking about mini cases, just the average ATX sized one.
Also on a case(for airflow) that is a nice tight fit, you can run your fans a little slower.
@Kol12 the O11 is a really good, and versatile case for Custom loop, CLC's, and for air even. Good choice
