So, I have a GTX 1080Ti FE, and I'm not super thrilled with my temperatures.  Does anyone have any advice in regards to keeping the stock cooler, getting a hybrid cooler (I'm realllllllly hesitant to use liquid cooling due to the possibility of leakage and, therefore, component damage), or using something like an Arctic Accelero?  As it stands, I have it overclocked to around 1974mhz at 50% voltage increase and 120% power, and at high load it throttles a bit, sometimes as low as 1850ish mhz.  Temperatures are usually in the 70s under load.  I know that that's a reasonable temperature, perhaps even good for the FE cooler, but I'd still like to get it down a bit more, and maybe go for a 2-2.2ghz stable overclock.

    The hybrid would be a great idea for you. I have heard they get great results, if you don't want to go with full on water cooling. I can understand your reservations, plus it gets expensive. You will need the 1080ti/TITANXP cooler. enjoy!!

    ^This. I very much doubt you are going to get over 2100 MHz without watercooling that chip. BTW, the Arctic Accelero is a watercooler. An AIO watercooler, but a watercooler in the end.

    I would keep my FE at mid to upper 70's maxing fan @ 65% (Still a hair dryer) with a fan curve and it would drop down into the 1800's sometimes with a +150 OC.  I installed the hybrid onto it and with the same +150 OC it never drops lower than 2000 and normally sits at 2025-2050 with temps ranging 49-58 C.  Oh and its like 90% quieter.  You are not going to get 2.2k overclock.  And even if you get 2100-2125 to bench.  You will most likely never be able to game on it.  I would set your expectations to anything over 2k no matter your cooling solution.

    I agree with everyone here that the hybrid cooler is the best bet. I got one last week and installed it. I used to get mid 70's with the fans blowing like a jet engine when playing games and running benchmarks. With the cooler, its more quiet and even at 100% load and intense gaming, temps are a steady low 40's C. I'm surprised how well the kit works.

    Apparently EVGA is making a new hybrid kit for the new SSC and FTW ti's, I can't wait!
