I think that case fans will not help you as Hybrid cooler or some other AIO system for GPU. With them temperature will not pass 60-65C. Droping GPU temperatures with case fans have small effects. Far better is nice GPU Liquid Cooler. This fans I give you are mostly fans for radiators, they could serve and as Case fans, special eLoop, but it's hard to find some excellent White Case fans. i7-5820K 4.5GHz/RVE10-EK Monoblock/Dominator Platinum 2666/ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon/SBZxR /Samsung 970 EVO PLus 1TB/850 EVO 1TB /EVGA 1200P2/Lian Li PC-O11WXC/EK XRES D5 Revo 100 Glass/Coolstream PE360-Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM x3 http://www.evga.com http://www.intel.com http://www.nvidia.com https://watercool.de http://www.lian-li.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHMun5xiRe0 https://xdevs.com/guide/2080ti_kpe/#intro https://www.evga.com/articles/01386/evga-sr-3-dark/ #4

I got the GTX 1080 FTW, I cannot afford a liquid cooler atm. The fans can be black too no biggie. I need something that moves a lot of air at a decent noise level. #5

The air flow is like an atomic shelter with industrial fans but... I think it will be cheaper for him getting some high speed fans and he will be fine.

He says that when he feels hot, he will lean over the top of the case to cool off. :) The new fans would definitely be cheaper. I was just thinking that he might want to move to a bigger case at some point. #14

They are a bit pricey, but all around great fans for a tradeoff in airflow and noise. #15
