Greetings everyone,
I'm just looking for some ideas/opinions for cooling my EVGA 3080 FTW Ultra. Prior to installing the card in my rig, I never had much of a cooling issue. Now that it has been running for a month or so, I noticed my computer is getting very hot (especially the glass next to the GPU). No other problems, however, I can't seem to think of a solution that will work with my current setup. I currently have a 360mm Rad on top of the case that is cooling my 9700k, on the front I have 2 140mm Corsair fans and I am not 100% sure I can remove them to install the Hybrid cooler for the 3080. If I did remove them to install the EVGA hybrid would that still create an airflow inside of my PC? The TOP fans are intake and well as the FRONT, and the single fan on the rear is exhaust. I can't really think of another solution other than removing the 2 front fans. My case is a Fractal Define (below are images and specs from the manufacturer).
