EVGA RTX 20-Series Hydro Copper Water Blocks Now Available

Putting Video Cards Under Water

EVGA teased their Hydro Copper RTX 20-series water blocks last month. Now after several weeks of waiting, they are finally available for purchase.

These new models are a departure from the previous EVGA Hydro Copper block designs. Most of the body is now made of clear glass acrylic giving a full view of the nickel plated block underneath. Moreover, the Hydro Copper card also features a brushed aluminium bracket along the edge facing the G1/4 connector side.

Users can choose between two models for each RTX 2080 or RTX 2080 Ti. There is the standard Hydro Copper Gaming XC, and the higher-end Hydro Copper FTW3 with a much larger block.
