I have a question regarding the AiO coolers. I have a couple of GTX 1080 FE cards and they kind of start to bake during game play. They reach to about 85C and I wanted to remedy that. I don't want to do a custom loop since I checked around on prices, for everything would need to get, it would be kind of costly. I saw a couple of AiO coolers from EVGA, one of them is for the GTX 1080 and the other is for the 1080 FTW. Is there a difference in mounting? Reason I ask, is it looks like that the actual tubing is longer on the FTW cooler than the other one. Is it possible to install the FTW cooler on a FE card or are the PCB's too different? Or am I able to use like a corsair cooler?
 
I have a Thermaltake Core V51 Case and I wanted to mount both of the coolers to the front of the case. The Corsair H80i V2 has enough tubing to fit to the front, since I am cooling my CPU with that one. But the way the tube is coming out of the pump, it looks like it wouldn't fit. In the EVGA coolers, they come out the side straight, and all the coolers I have been able to find, the come out to the side but have a right angle to make them come up.

The kit you need for your card is this one... https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=400-HY-5188-B1
 
The FTW kit won't work as the shroud is larger.

The Kraken G12 was a nightmare for me. Installation was a pain in the ass, cable management was a pain in the ass, and the CAM software that NZXT puts out is atrocious. 
 
My solution is pic related:

Thanks.
 
I only wish the tubes were a bit longer so that I can mount it to the front like I have the Corsair H80i mounted
