    LHz can source GTX1080 heatsink with fat 3 heatpipes as an optional upgrade to those who bought their machine with a 1070 or a 1060 GPU.

    The bigger heatsink will allow bigger heat removal capacity and can extend overclocking thermal headroom and/or providing a lower component temperature that will translate to longer computer lifespan.



    We can install it during the time that a computer is being sent in for repaste or you can buy it individually for DIY-lovers.


    Below is the interest check form that you need to fill out. Once we have enough feedback and enough people who want it, it'll be offered as an official service.



    Please note that installation service is offered in US48 only. The heatsink can be shipped outside of the US but it would cost extra.

    I've tested it , 17 1070 version change to 1080's heatsink and almost nothing changed.
    but 1060 to 1070's heatsink improves a lot
    Someone on taobao had sold 1070 and 1080 's heatsink for a long time

    This would certainly be something I would venture into. Will pricing info be available once enough interest is generated?

    We can finalize pricing once enough interest is generated, yes.

    Could you send it to other countries? Obviously, including the shipping cost in the final price. (Latin America)

    If there's enough interest.

    I'll make an international interest check form soon.



    Canada should be ok.
