    Greetings, folks!

    Back with more questions. I now am the proud owner of a used x711 / P775DM2 - It's got a bent heatsink. I'll be replacing it.

    The other P775 models seem to be very similar, and I'm seeing some small variation in the heatsinks, and different (and varying thermal capacity) heatpipe arrangements, compatibility with 20xx versus 10xx Nvidia cards, and also models with integrated watercooling on Alibaba.

    So here's my question: Will the heatsink from a P775DM3 also work in my DM2 / x711, and how different are the P775TM1 / P775TM heatsinks? How different is the actual layout for 20xx heatsinks, compared with the 10xx heatsink I need for my 1080?

    DM2 and DM3 have the same unified heatsink from what I know. TM1 (Pascal) has separate heatsinks for CPU and GPU, which is arguably better in combined loads, and is compatible with your system. TM1 (Turing) went back to a unified design (although different from the DM2/DM3 design) and is not compatible with your 1080.
