I think i have a bad cooling system on this hybrid. Gpuz reports fan rpm at zero as well. If i tap the radiator or move the lines it will slowly go back to around 58C. If its bad, what are my options here. I dont believe this is still under warranty? Thanks in advance

aftermarket cooler is your best option if the hybrid cooler has failed out of warranty

I'd have done a bit more troubleshooting. Is the radiator fan running? The fan is single speed and is not reported anywhere. Same with the pump. Single speed, no speed reporting. It sounds like you have an air bubble. Can you tell us how you have it installed and the orientation? Are the hoses at the bottom of the radiator or the top? Is your GPU above or below GPU radiator? Also it would not be unusual at this point to have developed a void in the TIM.

I have a 1080 hybrid which has the fan speed being reported, but for some reason with the 1080ti its no longer showing it. I have the radiator on the back of the machine (had been fine there and on another machine) with the hoses on the top, then over to the card. i need to double check but i believe the gpu is slightly lower than the radiator so the hoses run down and diag to the card

Having the hoses on top of the rad is absolutely the worse place. Any air, and there is always air, is going to be recirculated back through the pump. The hoses should be on the bottom. The single fan on the GPU, the PWM fan, should be showing RPM (did you verify it is running?) and you should be able to control it using Afterburner. The fan that is on the rad, is single speed and cannot be controlled and does not show RPM just to be clear.

Yeah the fan on the gpu was running, fan on the radiator is fine as well. I took things apart, redid the thermal paste, made no difference, it climbed to 90C under load pretty quickly, this was with the hoses on top.

I think I would try changing the TIM one more time. When you said that moving the hoses or tapping dropped the temps originally, that means the pump is still working. I'm not sure of your experience with GPU's but with the large bare die size you need to use more TIM than you normally would with a CPU. A bit of squeeze out is good. The thicker the TIM the better. I use IC Diamond. It's like putty and works best warmed up with a hair dryer  ...but top results

I've worked with cpus plenty of times though first time on gpu here. The TIM looked ok after removing again, so i had that nzxt bracket on hand and the h60 corsair cooler. First thing i realized is the bracket, how do you put this on the card (I cant find any tutorials or examples of swapping out things).. then i came to realize ok, the corsair square h60 wont fit in this (duh) only the nzxt brand. (I guess the h55 would fit but not in stock most places) I guess i can get the nzxt 120mm cooler and try to fit this bracket on the board, though still skeptical. That said, i guess theres no way to just change to the h60 corsair either and put the shroud back on (it wont fit, brackets with h60 dont fit). Has anyone replaced a 1080ti hybrid cooler? (i may try redoing the tim one more time with something other than arctic silver that i have on hand while i wait, edit: mx4, no change and now the grinding sound is louder than ever, coming from where the pump is on the board)

Your best best is to get an AIO that works with NZXT. The NZXT website has a list of compatible coolers. I believe it works with most AIO that use circular pattern (Asetek) Evga CLC 280mm uses that style as an example. Good luck

Sounds like air trapped in the pump itself, which is burning it up cause its not being lubricated/cooled by the flowing water. You gotta get that rad higher than the pump, then tip it back and forth and try to tap it some while tipped to release the air into the lines so it rides to the higher spot in the rad.

yeah tried all that, didnt help tattude69

Unfortunately that list doesnt include any or any quality 120mm variety that are compatible. So the 120mm evga i listed is going to have to work. Others mentioned it does but you have to really work to fit it in the bracket (taking it apart). Unless there is another bracket other than nzxt out there that works too. I wont know till probably fri on the evga if it all pans out (delivery likely).

I had exactly this issue a few months ago with my FTW3 hybrid and chimed in on this thread with an SC2 hybrid ( https://forums.evga.com/EVGA-GTX-1080-Ti-SC2-Hybrid-Gaming-iCX-11GP46598-overheating-with-any-load-m3068557.aspx#3069665) I wouldn't hear excessive noise from the pump that would make me think there was a problem but the temperatures would very quickly head to 90 °C upon loading the gpu accompanied with a hot line coming from the card but a cool radiator. I only heard chugging when I took the card out and moved it around and go air stuck in the pump area where it couldn't easily escape due to the plugged up plate. I tried a few things after I wasted time and money on shipping with an RMA to be told there's nothing wrong with my card. Shaking the hell out of it after some advice from Cool GTX (who also correctly was thinking that it could be blocked up with some crud) got it working for about another week before it died again and wouldn't cool anymore. Since I was still disappointed and annoyed that the RMA was a crummy experience I decided that if I'm buying a new cooler to plop on the card I may as well pull apart the dead one to see why this happened since I couldn't believe that support told me nothing was wrong with my card. Here's what was inside...  IMPORTANT NOTE: Use lots of downward force with an appropriate phillips-head bit when removing the cold plate screws. They're in there tight and the screw heads seem really soft and easy to bugger up. Lucky for me I work in a lab and had some of the stuff immediately available so I decided to flush the loop with some descaling solution (can also get a commercial variant at a hardware store) and clean the cold plate in a sonication bath (speeds up the process) after hitting it with some descaling solution. The corrosion was in there deep, this was after 5 min of sonication (it took about 15 minutes to get it near-pristine looking)  I refilled the loop with a 40% glycol (automotive mix for the corrosion inhibitors) / DI water solution and it has been working for around a month now. Cools a bit better than my second 1080 Ti FTW3 hybrid now as well. This was a relatively easy thing to do if you have around 30 - 45 minutes of time, a sonication bath, and something that can be used to clean out the corrosion. The annoying part was this happened while my card was under warranty and I was still told to essentially pound sand...

Nice, though a bit beyond where i am at the moment i guess. I have the g12, have the evga clc 120mm pump, managed to screw it on to the g12 bracket no issues, now the issue is, how to connect the 3 pin pump and fan to the video card spots, those are different style connectors? (and radiator fan too) EDIT: im guessing i could try all 3 on the motherboard, pump and rad fan at 100% all the time at least, the 3rd one, maybe an adapter i saw on amazon : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ZKZEQA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I dont know that the pump 3 pin will reach the motherboard, i dont think i have an extension on hand.

I just wanted to pop back in to provide a status update.
I've been on and off stress testing the card with the cleaned and refilled pump and gaming on it for about two months now and the card is still running cool and happy. Interestingly enough, it actually runs a few degrees cooler than the card that I've never had to repair the CLC on, though that could be down to ASIC quality since I didn't directly compare the cards head-to-head before repairing the CLC on the one.
I'll be sure to update again if performance starts to degrade.

I still have a brand new spare gen 2 EVGA Hybrid kit. The revision with the memory cold plate. Once in awhile I consider putting it up on Fleabay... but GPU prices are still absurd and you never know.

Re: 1080ti ftw3 hybrid making noises and reaching 80C under load, tap the radiator 58c?

I have 2 spare kits, one for a 980Ti and one for the 1080Ti. The pumps itself is the same exact pump.
Also I do not recommend using automotive antifreeze. Ethylene glycol can/will crack certain plastics.
I used it in a computer loop and the reservoir developed many hairline cracks and leaked.
Propylene glycol I do believe is what's used in computers.

Thank you for the heads-up on your experience with EG. I'll be sure to keep an eye on my repaired card to see if it develops any leaks. It's currently my bottom card in an SLI setup. The tubing that I suspect is used should have great compatibility with the EG used in the Prestone mix. I'm not having as much luck determining the type of plastic used in the pump but if I do find out I'll leave a follow-up.

I had exactly this issue a few months ago with my FTW3 hybrid and chimed in on this thread with an SC2 hybrid (https://forums.evga.com/EVGA-GTX-1080-Ti-SC2-Hybrid-Gaming-iCX-11GP46598-overheating-with-any-load-m3068557.aspx#3069665)
I wouldn't hear excessive noise from the pump that would make me think there was a problem but the temperatures would very quickly head to 90 °C upon loading the gpu accompanied with a hot line coming from the card but a cool radiator. I only heard chugging when I took the card out and moved it around and go air stuck in the pump area where it couldn't easily escape due to the plugged up plate.
I tried a few things after I wasted time and money on shipping with an RMA to be told there's nothing wrong with my card. Shaking the hell out of it after some advice from Cool GTX (who also correctly was thinking that it could be blocked up with some crud) got it working for about another week before it died again and wouldn't cool anymore.
Since I was still disappointed and annoyed that the RMA was a crummy experience I decided that if I'm buying a new cooler to plop on the card I may as well pull apart the dead one to see why this happened since I couldn't believe that support told me nothing was wrong with my card. Here's what was inside...
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use lots of downward force with an appropriate phillips-head bit when removing the cold plate screws. They're in there tight and the screw heads seem really soft and easy to bugger up.
Lucky for me I work in a lab and had some of the stuff immediately available so I decided to flush the loop with some descaling solution (can also get a commercial variant at a hardware store) and clean the cold plate in a sonication bath (speeds up the process) after hitting it with some descaling solution.
The corrosion was in there deep, this was after 5 min of sonication (it took about 15 minutes to get it near-pristine looking)
I refilled the loop with a 40% glycol (automotive mix for the corrosion inhibitors) / DI water solution and it has been working for around a month now. Cools a bit better than my second 1080 Ti FTW3 hybrid now as well. This was a relatively easy thing to do if you have around 30 - 45 minutes of time, a sonication bath, and something that can be used to clean out the corrosion.
The annoying part was this happened while my card was under warranty and I was still told to essentially pound sand...
EVGA is changing, saw many complaints about rma. Anyway. same problem here, overheat, pump problem on 1080 ftw. RMA don`t want to replace only the cooler but they want to send my good 1080 and to receive a second/third God know what hand 1080 and to pay over 100e for transport. I bought 5y warranty for nothing :)) So my questions are: 1.what is the ID/IO for tubes? I want to change them to something transparent and add a tank. 2.what gpu block can I use to keep the gpu case? After disassembly and cleaning who knows if it will work. 3.what coolant should I mix or use? Thanks guys.

From what I found, ID is 6mm so I will buy some silicone tube 6mm x 12mm. I was thinking to tear apart interior from pump and use the pump case with a custom loop.

Here is inside my pump:  After some cleaning, changed the tubes, the liquid, the junk radiator with a cooper wider one, used some black silicone to avoid leaks and here is the result: from 80C to 40C.  Edit: rjohnson11 should I say Thank you evga for a "great" liquid and a "greater" rma? We live in communism now ?
