ASUS Quietly Changes ROG Strix GTX 1080 Ti PCB Design
 

ASUS's ROG Strix GTX 1080 Ti features a custom PCB, which has reportedly been changed. This is a pretty big issue for companies such as EK WB, which offers custom water blocks for it: customers are now being warned of potential incompatibilities. EK Water Blocks called out Asus for a change to one of its graphics card PCB designs, claiming that several of its GPU waterblocks are no longer compatible with recently minted versions of a previously compatible Asus graphics card, the ROG Strix GTX 1080 Ti. Based on the range of serial numbers, Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards manufactured before November 2017 are still compatible with EKWB's purpose-built GPU waterblocks.
