We have seen the test results that ASUS' Poseidon GTX 1080 Ti can manage on air cooling and now it is time to revist the card when it is watercooled. [H]ard|OCP attached the card to a Koolance Exos Liquid Cooling System Model EX2-755 and fired up the system to benchmark it. The difference is immediately noticeable, the minimum clock on watercooling almost matches the highest clock seen on air cooling, with an average observed frequency of 2003MHz, 2076MHz once they manually overclocked. This did translate into better gameplay and significantly lower operating temperatures which you can see in detail here.
"It’s time to let the liquid flow and put the ASUS ROG Poseidon GTX 1080 Ti Platinum Edition to the ultimate test. We will connect a Koolance Liquid Cooling System and test GPU frequency, gaming performance, and push the video card as hard as possible for its best overclock. Let’s find out what a little liquid can do for a GTX 1080 Ti."

this cooling kit has aluminum
this cooling kit has aluminum parts/radiator correct? doesn’t the Poseidon have copper internals? thought this wasn’t supposed to mix. I have a Poseidon and thought about running your setup. some info on this would be helpful. thanks! -Justin
