MSI GTX 980 TI Corsair H55 Water Cooler

PERFORM AT YOUR OWN RISK! Personally tested, I do not recommend this solution due to low coolant flow rate issues that make it difficult to bleed air bubbles. A better alternative is available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2700102. This adapter is designed for the Corsair H55 Water Cooler and allows it to work on a MSI GTX 980 TI 6G Gaming card. I replaced the tubes to connect them to my main loop, and I can create a video on how to replace the tubing if needed. To install it, use the factory screws and nuts, tighten the PCB, then loosen slightly to avoid damaging the card. I also added a small case fan to cool the capacitors, which were previously exposed due to lack of airflow. After installing this adapter, my temperatures decreased from 80 degrees Celsius during an overclock benchmarking test to 50 degrees Celsius while still overclocked. Please note that I have a triple radiator setup with a water pump and fans running at full speed for these tests. (Apologies for the poor print quality - it was a test of concept, and I forgot to take pictures of the final build. A picture of my completed PC is attached.)
