Can I swap the 120mm radiator and pump for a bigger AiO on my Hybrid kit that I got for my 1080 Ti? I put it on like a year ago so I can't remember if the pump is standard or not. Can I take it off and put a bigger AiO on?

Its a sealed kit. I guess you could but would be easier just to get a new set up.

I know the AiO is sealed, but the unit itself is not sealed to the shroud. I remember attaching the pump I just don't remember if it was standard or not.

Can I swap the 120mm radiator and pump for a bigger AiO on my Hybrid kit that I got for my 1080 Ti? I put it on like a year ago so I can't remember if the pump is standard or not. Can I take it off and put a bigger AiO on?



I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but the pump housing is obviously designed to fit within the shroud. As there is almost no clearance with the existing shroud and pump, I'm not sure how you would put a LARGER pump. There are other AIO's folks have used but not without doing modifications to the shroud and possibly the backplate.

Not really wanting a larger pump, just a larger radiator. For example, I have two Corsair AiOs here with the same size pump but one is 120mm radiator and the other is 240mm radiator. I know that one company makes most of the pumps and I'm just wondering if an EVGA 240mm AiO would swap out with the 120mm that's included with the hybrid kit. 
 
The kit was just a shroud and an AiO. Most of the AiOs are standard because most of them are all made by the same company. I just don't know if the EVGA one that was included with the hybrid kit was standard size or not.

Swapping the rad for another rad will void the warranty. If you're ok with that have at it.

What? How in the world could that void the warranty. The Hybrid kit is just an AiO and a shroud in a box. If I wanted to send it in for warranty I'd just put the shroud and original AiO in the box. That's like saying I void my motherboard warranty by using my own SATA cables instead of the ones that came with it. 
 
It's a moot point, though. It only has a 1 year warranty and that's already expired.

I think he was assuming that your GPU was a Hybrid model. In which case you would be voiding your warranty for the GPU. Since you're discussing a separate Hybrid cooler that you added to the GPU, the only warranty would be on the Hybrid kit.  In any event, your posts are confusing. If I finally read you correctly, you're asking if you could splice in the 240 rad in place of the 120? Sure, why not. But you'd need to figure out what fluid to use and how the get most of the air out of the system as you would be breaking the seal to do so. Pretty much all these answers and issues should be apparent to you already if you're even considering this. I'm not sure what you'd gain with the extra rad area versus adding another fan to the rad for push/pull.

No, that's not what I'm asking at all. The AiO appears to be a standard one, although I haven't taken my shroud off again yet so I can't tell for sure. I'm talking about swapping the entire AiO, not disassembling or splicing anything. EVGA sells 240mm AiO units as well as 120mm AiO. I'm wondering if the 240mm AiO unit from EVGA will fit within the hybrid kit. 
 
Again, the kit is just a 120mm AiO and a shroud. You install the AiO just like you would any other AiO on a CPU and then screw the shroud on. It's not like it's an all in one shroud and pump/radiator kit.

For reference, since everyone seems to be confused about what the hybrid kit is:
 

 
I am just wondering if that's a regular old standard Asetek AiO in which case the EVGA 240mm version should also fit, right?

I'm thinking the Question is:
 
Can OP replace "stock AIO" with a EVGA CLC 240 unit ---> I do not know if it will fit
 

 
There are aftermarket AIO & mounting "kits" that have been used on Air cooled GPU - "I'm thinking a separate NZXT Kraken mount and heatsinks"

I don't know the answer to your question, that's why I have not replied earlier, but for the record, I don't think your question was confusing at all. I understood your question 3 hours ago, after your second reply.

Exactly! 
 
And for those who asked, I'm not really wanting to do it for performance reasons, but actually aesthetic reasons. The 120mm looks out of place in my case when I have 3x 120mm intake fans.

I'd honestly rather go back to just air cooling since I recently swapped my H100i v2 for a much better performing Dark Rock Pro 4. BUT, there's no way I'm putting that noisy FE cooler back on the card.
 
I've searched eBay for someone that might have removed an iCX cooler for a custom waterblock hoping I could buy that and fit it to my card, but I can't find anything.

You would have to find a kit where the tubing comes out of the side of the pump/block combo. The pump/block would also need to be made to mate to the Hybrid memory cooling plate. Then you have to look at how the pump/block mounts as the Hybrid pump/block mounting plate has the screw points built into plate.

I guess the real question would be why? It’s like going from cooling overkill to more cooling overkill.

Like I said - aesthetic reasons. The 120mm just looks funny now that I have moved it to the front intake of my case. It looked OK as exhaust, but that won't work with my current setup anymore. 
 
Also because I have some larger AiOs already so if they would fit, why not? I also have the NZXT g10 bracket that I used to have on my 780 Ti, but I much prefer the looks of the EVGA shroud.

The EK MLC is a modular radiator/pump & water block combo kit. They have a block for the FTW3 and Hybrid cards. I was thinking of doing the same as the op. It's not cheap though.
 
I wouldn't go larger than a 140mm radiator. Anything more is overkill on a gpu unless you plan on expanding to the cpu in the future.
 
Just bypass the cpu cooling module section.

Re: Can the AiO on the 1080 Ti Hybrid kit be replaced? 2019/07/27 12:57:23 (permalink)
This question was completely clear to me. I have one that is similar. I bought this kit; i like it. I was wondering can i get a replacement aio after 5 years when the water starts to evaporate/seep into the plastic that will fit "into this kit" since it has a nice vram cold plate etc.
 
Worded even more simply can i purchase a replacemet aio to fit this kit if and when this fails after a few years. And in this case which and where. I'd even like to just buy the same radiator. the trouble i see here is EVGA stops selling these (the full kits) after cards go out of the market, but a 1080ti is going to be a good card for many more years. Fans go bad, pumps die, and where does that leave you? I also got one of the FE cards that are just way too loud. The AIO is great otherwise.

Except he asked about using a LARGER one not simply a replacement. How the question was posed, originally not how the thread ended up if you don't mind. Of course you already know the answer to your question is no. However, there's already options on the market. Of course no 3rd party is going to make a AIO that would only fit a single reference model and shroud and EVGA isn't going to provide support either beyond the warranty. So you do what everyone else does: you modify the cosmetics of the GPU to fit the solution.  (or like me, you bought a spare AIO sitting sealed in box )

I love how supportive the community is when someone wants to do something different -_- (@heavyhemi)
 
I stumbled across this old thread due to my EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 Hybrid having thermal runaway issues and am currently debating on putting an aftermarket air cooler on it. It seems as though EVGA has beefed it with these coolers...I find mine not circulating fluid through the radiator and building copious amounts of heat right where the feed tube to the radiator mounts. Funny enough...if I tap on the radiator (kinda hard) or shake it (violently) my thermals drop INSTANTLY an I can feel the rest of the radiator heat up and dissipate the heat.
 
ANYWAYS, I was exploring options and found the Kraken G12 mentioned above and was exploring the option of going with a Corsair H100i if i don't end up going the aftermarket air cooler route. I'm kinda in the same spot....

I like the cooling capabilities of the G12 with an H100i but I want to retain my stock EVGA shroud. What route did you end up going?

The few people who I've seen that have new unopened hybrid kits for sale want $250-$300+ for them.  
 
I saw someone mentioned the EK MLC Phoenix stuff above.  EKWB has a clearance sale on the EK Phoenix equipment.  Its being discontinued.
https://www.ekwb.com/shop/clearance/clearance-mlc-phoenix
 
You can get the CPU block for $92.39 and the 140mm pump and radiator module for $101.99 or the 240mm pump and radiator module for 107.99.

https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-mlc-phoenix-140-radiator-core-module4
https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-mlc-phoenix-240-radiator-core-module
 
Newegg also has the 280mm pump and radiator module.
https://www.newegg.com/p/37B-000B-001R1
That could cool two GTX 1080 ti GPUs in SLI easily.
 
The pump and radiator modules take up more room than a case fan int he same location, so be sure they fit before buying them.  Also, you can buy an extra set of quick disconnects and add the MLC Phoenix stuff to an open loop system.  The other option is to take the EK MLC Phoenix connectors off the GPU block and just add regular connectors to add it to an open loop.

Haven't done it myself, at least with another AIO. The NZXT G12 does have compatibility for the 2080 and 2080 Ti, but does not list support for the H150i. It does, of course, support the X72 for a 360mm AIO solution; but CAM isn't that great. (You'll need the G12 or a similiar AIO bracket as you won't be able to re-use the stock hardware with another AIO)
Personally, I think EVGA's AIO solutions are garbage. 120 rad is undersized and the pump noise is atrocious on both 2080 Ti FTW3 Hybrids I've had.
If you haven't bought the card, just get the 2.75 slot air cooled version. If I could go back, that is what I would have done. (But I would have ended up going custom loop anyways)

I love how supportive the community is when someone wants to do something different -_- (@heavyhemi)
 
I stumbled across this old thread due to my EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 Hybrid having thermal runaway issues and am currently debating on putting an aftermarket air cooler on it. It seems as though EVGA has beefed it with these coolers...I find mine not circulating fluid through the radiator and building copious amounts of heat right where the feed tube to the radiator mounts. Funny enough...if I tap on the radiator (kinda hard) or shake it (violently) my thermals drop INSTANTLY an I can feel the rest of the radiator heat up and dissipate the heat.
 
ANYWAYS, I was exploring options and found the Kraken G12 mentioned above and was exploring the option of going with a Corsair H100i if i don't end up going the aftermarket air cooler route. I'm kinda in the same spot....

Also because I have some larger AiOs already so if they would fit, why not? I also have the NZXT g10 bracket that I used to have on my 780 Ti, but I much prefer the looks of the EVGA shroud. 




 
I like the cooling capabilities of the G12 with an H100i but I want to retain my stock EVGA shroud. What route did you end up going?







 
I like when randoms make attack posts based on nothing. My post had noting to do with anyone doing something different. I am a modding fool. Simply noting what WOULD NOT WORK, in this specific use case. Literacy is an important skill.

EVGA X99 FTWK / i7 6850K @ 4.5ghz / RTX 3080Ti FTW Ultra / 32GB Corsair LPX 3600mhz / Samsung 850Pro 256GB / Be Quiet BN516 Straight Power 12-1000w 80 Plus Platinum / Window 10 Pro

I just installed an Alphacool Eiswolf GPX on my GTX 1080 and i think it works Awesome but it was pure luck the first kit was some open box type reject all types of issues but the second kit worked awesome and now i am getting hybrid temps with the ability to upgrade radiator or any other component now that i found the GPU block . Already planning a Full Loop. Worth looking into the 10 series are cheap the pump might be low enough to fit under the oem shroud and can be bought separate they have a gpu version and one for xbox that has a bracket

I don't wanna open a new thread cause i think my question is very related to this toipic
i'm kinda disappointed too on the Evga Hybrid GPU solution.. I bought a 2080 super ftw3 Hybrid and the Temp are not what i was expecting (part of that is probably caused by my small case of course)
I was already looking for a full AIO replacement solution in the next months.. 
So from what i understood is the NZXT solution fully compatible with 2080 super card? was looking at the Kraken g12 + the x53..
Does anyone has experience with this?
