Pulling out an original 1080ti from an old One Pro

[rolecks]

I have my old Corsair One Pro with a 8700K/1080ti. It was working just fine - but I built a new PC in Feb and it's been sitting in a closet since.

 

I recently pulled the 1080ti to re-paste and was wondering if this card can be used in a separate system but with some sort of after-market air cooler replacement? Does such a thing exist?

 

I still have the original pump/rad but it's been running for 3 straight years and I figured 1) it'd be easier to deal with a card without an AIO and 2) I'm not sure about the condition of the liquid inside the original gpu AIO.

I did this same thing and gave my old 1080 to a friend. I was able to locate a universal aftermarket cooler for like $60, mounted it and gave it to my friends son as a gift. Here is a link.

If your handy and take your time, it's pretty simple.

Hey Rolecks, My One Pro's GPU just died and I've been dealing with supports nonsense for the last 2 months. It appears that they cannot offer me any help what-so-ever. If you're interested in selling that 1080 Ti, let me know. Thanks!
