this is for 1080 ti FE hybrid kit.
has anyone replaced the fan? if so, did you get better temps?
with stock fan, my card does not go above 52 degrees. But it is very loud and it bothers me. it's just the loudest fan in my system.
so i replaced with a NB Eloop 120mm 1700RPM version. I placed the Radiator in the rear as exhaust. Now my temps are hitting 70 with the nb eloop.
so now i'm shopping for a different fan. any suggestions? i would like quiet + better temps than stock fan. Price is no concern.

Weird... mine is also a rear install and I can't hear the fan at all. It's completely stock and the fan is controlled by the GPU. Load temps 38-45C... completely silent.
I haven't heard of many people swapping out the fan... good luck with it.

yeah, my stock fan hits 35-52. but it is very loud. i'm going to be putting the stock fan back on i guess. but before i do i wanted to see if anyone got a fan replacement that performed better than the stock one.

I'm in the same boat. It makes a loud wish with a top end whistle and seems to be ramped up regardless of load. I idle at like 28 degrees. Load is between 50 and 55 My pump makes a little buzz but that's only audible with my head in the case. Any recommendations on a quiet fan would be great. Ideally I'd like less noise and to keep it under 50 degrees.

I just used a Scythe GT AP-14 fan running at 95% plugged into the motherboard header. However, I have mine set as an intake pull. In other words, the fan on the inside of the radiator pulling air in. Temps are about the same but the noise level...well it's pretty much silent. Maybe I got a bum fan, but the stock one was very noisy.

wait, how did you fit a 140mm on the hybrid 120mm radiator?

With this 120mm to 140mm fan adapter
There's no need with a 120mm fan. I think he saw the -14 and thought it was a 140mm fan.

I have 2 hybrid kits installed on my Titan X P cards.
Each of the radiators sport 2 Corsair ML 120 fans in push/pull...running off motherboard fan headers.
I have these set as intake into my case. My typical ambient is 28 C (I live in Florida). The top card stays at 50C or below, and the bottom card stays at 45 C or below.
However, with these set as intake, the radiators to get dust in them...even though I am running through a dust filter. Every 3 months or so, I have to clean the dust out of the radiators (thank you DataVac) as the temperature starts to climb.

are corsair ml better than scythe, noctua, silentwings 3, etc? i honestly despise mainstream brands like corsair and thermaltake, all show no performance. just more RGB leds. but i might be wrong

ok, after much debate, i decided to give noctua industrial fan a try.
it's the 2000rpm version with 3 pin fan connector.
if it proves to be same or worse than the stock evga fan, i'm going to return it and just keep the stock fan. honestly stock fan performs well, albeit loud as hell.

I agree. The fan performance is similar, it was mostly a noise issue for me. What is interesting is even those using push/pull fans are not seeing that much difference. The temps seem more biased toward whatever the ambient temps going through the radiator are. With those running as an intake having a bit better temps than those running with it as exhaust.

The OE fan has the typical airflow and buffeting wind noise. It has a soft bearing noise at 100%. I tested the fans in a quiet room with a 12v power supply before I installed them to check operating range and noise. Used my ears instead of dB meter. All fans will have the airflow and bearing noise at 100%... except the Corsair ML magnetic bearings. These are suppose to be floating so you'll only get the airflow noise. Need to distinguish what you're hearing and determine how much air you want to move. I believe the OE fans runs in the 70CFM range(2400ish rpm) when I compared it to other 120mm fans. That said, most fans run at 50-75% are fairly quiet. Most fans 120mm and larger kept under 1800rpm are relatively quiet. I replaced 4 AF Series with 4 ML series(2-pack no LED) fans in my Corsair 900D case, 3x120 front and 1x140mm rear. The 120mm tops at 2400rpm and 140mm top at 2000rpm. At 100%, they have noticeable airflow noise, but no bearing noise. I run these at up 75% and they move a lot of air while still being relatively quiet. I hear my Varder fans over the ML series at reduced RPMs. I've tried numerous fans and as long as you have a reputable brand, the general rules apply. Good bearings, static pressure for radiator or open air, and usable RPM range. Higher static pressure have different blade designs, higher RPMs, thus louder at full power. As opening decreases, airflow increases so larger fans with less restriction and lower rpms are more quiet and move similar volume of air to smaller fans. Something that may be affecting your exhaust setup cooling is the case pressure. If you have negative pressure and not enough cool air coming into the case, the lower RPM fan may not be able to pull adequete air through the fins. Since the OE fans in the same location worked better, I'm assuming the 1700 rpm and reduced airflow is the reason you saw the big change, nothing else being touched. Was motherboard/case temps higher with the Eloop fan than the OE? Sorry, not a simple replace with a quiet fan answer. Overall, I like the ML series since there's no bearing noise, but they are pricey. Less noise, lower rpm, less airflow, less cooling.

Generally speaking, all things being equal in the same ambient air, push/pull mainly helps with more dense cooling fins. Or, when exhausting from a negative pressure or intake into a positive pressure case, the push/pull will help with overcoming pressure. In the end, it's deminishing returns and we're not the norm for doing these types of computers. LOL BTW, you're hemi probably needs 10lbs of KB or whipple just because...

I've replaced the EVGA fan with a Notcua NF-F12 and my temps went up +8c on load. Tried a pair of them(Notcua's NF-F12) push/pull and temps still went up +5c over the single EVGA fan... They are silent, but not enough RPM. So I'm back to just using the fan that came with the kit. The trick is going to be finding another fan that runs at a high enough RPM and quiet enough to out perform the cooling. That's what we are all searching for.... Personally I'm trying to staying away from Push/Pull due to a small case/aesthetics and just added fan noise. My pipe dream is to run a few ducts from my finished basement. Intake from floor and exhaust to ceiling and set it as my intake/exhaust but my wife doesn't care for that idea lol. Basement is always 10-15 degrees cooler than my office due to two computers, 5 monitors and a TV. I could heat my basement and cool my gpu  That's what I tell her anyways. If anyone tries a Notcua industrial fan let me know how it goes. I'm half tempted to just order all the variants and test em out then just send em all back if they don't. Gotta love Amazon Prime

I tried making a DIY 6" duct with a vornado to help exhaust the back of the computer. Made a soffit using foam core on the computer rear venting to a 6" duct and vornado to help expel air. Couldn't move enough air through the duct so the case got hotter. This was 3 generation computers ago... a feeble attempt and waste of time and material. To do it right like hot isle/cold isle or pressurized racks in datacenters, need a lot of airflow volume. Not easy. I tried a lot of crazy things to make my PC room more quiet and cooler. Wife just shakes her head... A good 2400rpm 75CFM 120mm fan run at 75% should work well, but can't use the GPU power and temp control. But is it worth the effort versus the OE fan? That's a personal preference.

Push/Pull ML120s here and I'm getting about 7 degrees lower temps than the stock fan. Also went for a PWM header on the MB and set the fans to a quiet, but adequate speed. I am getting a ton of airflow and plenty quiet.
ML120s aren't cheap, unfortunately

I decided to ditch the hybrid kit altogether. I disconnected the fan to hear what it would be like with a quiet fan and the pump noise/buzz was just not for me. Its not gurgle or anything out of place, just a constant buzz. When i'm gaming i don't care but I use my PC for work and I know that would drive me nuts. So I guess i'll go for an air cooled card that has a fan stop when idle.

switched back to evga stock fan, now temps hovering between 52-55 under full load. much better temps, very crappy acoustics.
i'll try the noctua once i receive it. if the noctua fails at improving the situation, i'm just going to leave it be with the stock fan.

If your motherboard has the ability to control voltage of 3pin fans just don't plug the fan into the hybrid it, plug it into a motherboard fan header.
I run my hybrid fan at about 60% speed and it makes the noise much less of an issue, while still getting similar performance.

I have 2 hybrid kits installed on my Titan X P cards.
Each of the radiators sport 2 Corsair ML 120 fans in push/pull...running off motherboard fan headers.
I have these set as intake into my case. My typical ambient is 28 C (I live in Florida). The top card stays at 50C or below, and the bottom card stays at 45 C or below.
However, with these set as intake, the radiators to get dust in them...even though I am running through a dust filter. Every 3 months or so, I have to clean the dust out of the radiators (thank you DataVac) as the temperature starts to climb.
are corsair ml better than scythe, noctua, silentwings 3, etc?
i honestly despise mainstream brands like corsair and thermaltake, all show no performance. just more RGB leds. but i might be wrong
"Better" is a relative term. Are you interested in airflow, static pressure, noise, all of the above? I chose the Corsair ML fans as they actually PUBLISH the P-Q curve for the fans. Most fan manufacturers just give you the maximum static pressure and maximum airflow. You get the maximum airflow at 0 static pressure (only possible when the fan is in free space), and maximum pressure at 0 air flow (only possible when you completely block off the fan). What I liked about the Corsair ML fans is that the P-Q curve is mostly linear. Many fans out there have dips, peaks, and valleys. It's very hard to measure the air resistance of your system. If you get lucky and the resistance matches the peak of a fan on its P-Q curve, you will have good performance for that fan. If not, then you will be telling everybody how much the fan sucks (when it actually only sucks for your system configuration.) They fans are pretty quiet...just a woosh of air as you increase the speed. I have 11 of these fans in my case (6 ML 120, and 5 ML 140). Just a wooshing sound...no whining or resonance frequency sound. Also, they have a cool LED - hehe.

ok, i finally got to replace the fan once more.
noctua nf-f12 industrial 2k rpm version with 3 pin header.
now, it performs better than the stock fan and the nb eloop. Temps top out at 52 degrees no matter how much workload i throw at it.
however, i notice that when the gpu is idle, the fan powers up and down. i thought the radiator fan was 100% power 100% of the time? maybe the GPU doesn't have enoguh power to drive this fan?
but when on full load, the fan is at full blast. it's only when i don't game that the fan spins up and down (i know this since the fan is quite loud at full blast).
Maybe i should connect the noctua directly to the Motherboard?

It's dynamic based on coolant temp.

Pretty sure the radiator fan is static fixed 12v. It's a two wire fan no PWM.

Man...it's so annoying the forum software gives no indication you've clicked the button...
that what i thought too. i always thought the fan on the shroud was dynamic and the fan on the radiator was 100% power 100% of the time. but why the heck is my noctua fan rpm going up and down? i plugged on motherboard and it goes 100% at all times. Maybe the 3 pin connection from the hybrid kit is not supplying enough power for the noctua? btw, this doesn't happen with the stock fan, it just runs 100% at all times.

Unfortunately, the reality is that the fan does not run silent, nor anywhere near it. The 2-pin solution to split off the PWM fan header on the card's PCB doesn't work as well as one might hope. I used my own solution for my SC2 Hybrid: 1) Removed EVGA's 2-pin fan and replaced it with a Noctua SSO2 120mm 4-pin PWM high static pressure radiator fan: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFCR5BA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2) Plugged the Noctua fan into a PWM fan header on the motherboard 3) Installed an Uxcell TC 2-pin Temp sensor onto the motherboard and the probe was placed onto the exterior of the radiator to measure the air exhaust temperature: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DDH68CK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 4) Using the Asus software suite (Fan Xpert 4), I created a custom fan curve for the fan header on the motherboard controlling the Noctua fan and selected the Uxcell TC as the source for the temperature monitoring; I used several high load GPU benchmarks to determine the range of the radiator exhaust air temperatures and adjusted the custom fan curve accordingly Temps and fan noise are lower now vs. the stock configuration
