Greetings from Greece,
 
I have the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 HYBRID GAMING, 11G-P4-6598-KR.
The last couple of weeks i have been getting constant noise coming out of the pump
and i want to replace it with an aftermarket cooler.
I have found the Accelero Xtreme IV from Artic and it says its compatible with the 1080 ti.

I would like to know if it is compatible with the 1080 ti SC2 hybrid.
Other suggestions are also appreciated.
 
Thank you.
 

So the radiator is mounted on top of the case and the hoses are set on the bottom of the rad.
I have uploaded 2 pictures that show exactly how it is mounted.
and yes It sounds like air is being trapped inside...
Let me know if it can be fixed.
 
Thanks a lot

Agh... that's almost as bad as having it upside down. What you can try is taking the rad out and manipulating it gently while the system is running to see if you can purge the air. Gentle shaking, as long as you're not jerking on the hoses to the GPU will not hurt anything. It's best to mount the rad vertically, hoses on the bottom.

How is the air going to come out of the radiator and from where? I mean these radiators aren't sealed up and also closed loop?
 

I am in a similar boat (same card). Did improve the temps somewhat using the above trick, still I have to run my card at 70-75% to get somewhat normal temps.
 
IIRC EVGA used to offer said AIO cooler independently. Searched it but to no avail. Anyone here have an idea where I may find said Kit to replace my aging one. Is EVGA offering it for old customers or am I completely out of luck?
 
The GPU is super for 1080p gaming and I have absolutely no reason, espec with current GPU prices, to swap/upgrade it. Any help would be appreciated...

Apologies for bringing up this old thread but I am in the same boat of a pump that is dying (or dead) and I've been keen on replacing this card's cooler with at least air. However I  think it's important to point out that the OP's original question was never answered about fitment or compatibility.

I am also interested in hearing alternatives to the arctic solution as that air cooler looks like a real thicc boy and I'm more interested in a slimmer profile, at least when it comes to the back of the card.

Supposedly the Kraken G12 is a good solution for hybrid liquid cooling, but I have no idea how good fitment would be between different kraken loops, there seems to be quite a few now and they all surely have different cold plate designs, when it comes to the G12, is it a pretty straightforwards swap or will I have to be making minute modifications to ensure good fitment and mounting pressure?

I also have more than enough equipment to run a full GPU waterblock (such as a Hydro Copper) but I am unsure what the differences would be between the SC2 and founders edition PCB. Other than the hydro copper are there any alternatives with proper fitment for OP's card? I have the same product number, and the hydro coppers tend to be slim pickings. Buying one for $200+ on ebay is obviously not a cost effective solution considering you could pick up a 1080 ti (air cooled or otherwise.) for about the same price nowadays. My card is fully functional other than the pump.


My card is not under warranty, and I have no problem disassembling and reassembling equipment. Thanks in advanced for advice.
 
Edit: If I bought an air cooled sc2 parts card, would a cooler /shroud swap be viable? I would presume they're the same PCB, but would love to hear confirmations before I buy parts.
