Hello! I have been lurking in this thread and following your discussion for a couple of weeks. I have been waiting for this card because I thought that I would be able to change the radiator fan on it. The reason I haven't purchased the Gigabyte Waterforce card is because it's not possible on that one without breaking the warranty. I want the quietest fan on the market that still does the job good enough, that's why I want the ability to change the fan.  When I see the screenshots on this Hybrid card now it looks like it's not possible to change the fan on this one either? Is that correct? A very stupid move by EVGA if that is the case because then I have to skip this one too. I'm not going to break my warranty to change the fan and I won't settle with a fan that is not silent enough.

Look under the "Built in Radiator and Fan" section. It says "Fan can also be swapped or customized."

I don't understand why you cannot change the radiator fan. 4 screws and it is out.

What makes you think that you can not change the radiator fan? Looking at the pictures on the product page it looks like there is a fan header in-line from the card to the radiator fan. It looks to me like you'll be able to swap fans pretty easily.

Aha, I missed the connector in the middle there. Looked like it had the same solution as the Waterforce card. That is good news, I'm happy that I was mistaken! Then I wait some more for some reviews. I will go back into hiding and observe now. Thanks for answering. Bye!
 
Oh, and if it's not considered offtopic, what fan do you think will be the quietest fan to mount on that radiator that still can cool this card sufficiently?

Im also interesting to know which fan will be the quietest if I chose to remove the stock fan.
All my other fans are from noiseblocker so I really want that brand on all my fan's.
It seems like its pretty much indentical with the 980ti hybrid fan on the rad, so have any replaced the stock fan?
if so,is it pwm or dc?
