Description
The Bitspower Classic VGA Water Block is a precision-engineered thermal solution designed specifically for the high-wattage EVGA FTW3 series. By utilizing a nickel-plated copper base and a clear acrylic top, it ensures efficient heat transfer from the GPU, VRAM, and VRM components while maintaining a sleek aesthetic. This full-cover block includes a matching aluminum backplate to provide structural rigidity and additional passive cooling for the PCB.
This product is for:
- Hardcore gamers seeking to eliminate thermal throttling on their EVGA FTW3 cards during 4K high-refresh-rate sessions.
- PC modders and enthusiasts building custom loops who require a reliable G1/4" threaded block with a transparent aesthetic.
- Professional workstation users running long-duration GPU renders who need consistent, low operating temperatures.
- Small Form Factor (SFF) builders looking to reduce the 3-slot footprint of the original FTW3 air cooler to a slim 25mm profile.
- Overclockers aiming to push the power limits of the GA102 silicon by maintaining a lower delta-T compared to air cooling.

Installing the Bitspower Classic block transforms the bulky EVGA FTW3 into a streamlined powerhouse. The machining quality of the copper base ensures tight contact with critical components, significantly lowering temperatures compared to the stock iCX3 cooler. The clear acrylic top allows for easy visual inspection of coolant flow and air bubbles, while the standard G1/4" ports offer universal compatibility with existing liquid cooling fittings and tubing.
Unlike universal GPU blocks that only cover the core, this Bitspower full-cover solution is tailored specifically for the unique PCB layout of the EVGA FTW3 series. While the stock air cooler relies on high-RPM fans that generate significant noise, this water block operates silently within a custom loop. Compared to other aftermarket blocks, the inclusion of a dedicated aluminum backplate ensures the card remains flat and protected without requiring separate purchases.
