So I own a EVGA GTX 1080 Founders Edition and it just gets too hot. I want to know if I can purchase the ACX 3.0 cooler for my card. I know you can buy the hybrid cooler but I don't want to buy that I just want the ACX cooler.

Nope. How hot is your card running? Did you try increasing the gpu fan speed with msi afterburner/precision xoc?

What case do you have, how is your airflow in it? Any additional fans added? Could try reapplying the TIM if you are comfortable in doing that.

I have a Corsair C70 and the airflow is fine. Just wanted to know if you could replace the stock cooler with an ACX cooler from the SC 1080

You can swap the coolers but you'll have to find some one selling an ACX3. It won't happen this time around but I still have my fingers crossed that EVGA will sell an ACX3 so I can air cool a Titan XP.

Why don't you want a Hybrid cooler? I have one on my FE and temps never exceed 45C. Typically hover around 40-43C. It's an awesome cooler.

If you have the space, I urge you to install a hybrid cooler. Installed one on my 1070 SC Wednesday night and haven't been happier.

Aren't the PCBs different?

Founders cooler is absolute garbage no matter how good airflow is. Why wouldn't you just get hybrid kit sub 50c temps, silent and higher stable boost clocks. I put on my 2 FE night day difference. If you got ACX you will still have to take card completely apart. ACX uses different cooling plate.

I have the room but I don't know how to mount it to my HDD cages. I have some fans there now and I've seen people who have the hybrid 980ti mounted there but I just don't know how to.

The install is pretty straight forward. My rad/fan setup is a push-pull configuration in a Fractal Define R5 case.

I put an ACX3 from a 1080 SC on a 1080 FE with no modifications. AS long as the cooler doesn't come from an FTW or Classified it will be a direct replacement. The Titan XP will require a dremel tool on the ACX3 cooler's base plate but but it's only minor surgery.

Did you install a kit or did you purchase the reference hybrid 1080 card? I'm trying to get vBIOS for the reference 1080 hybrid model.

I installed the Hybrid kit on my 1070 sc. If you're comfortable building a pc, this will be a piece of cake. Took me less than 30 mins total. EVGA has a great setup/tutorial video, plus a ton of tutorials out there on youtube.

Not really The PCB is Smaller than the FTW that uses the ACX 3 Cooler, their is no way to Mount it. @ mojoeman265 Can you Post a Photo of your Computer with the Side Cover Off so we can see how your card is Mounted. I have two Reference Cards with Blower Style Cooler and while I run up as high as you at 83C my Cards are running 7x24 @2025 MHz and the temps float between 67C and 78C. I have OCX Set to 124% and the Temp Set to 86C. The max for the Card is 92C

Mid Plate is the First issues the Second issue is the Back Plate.  In theory anything is Possible, In theory. But then the HYBRID Kit 400-HY-5188-B1 will work on them all. *Blower to Blower and ACX 3 to Blower.

Maybe you can more the two upper hard drives down to the bottom to open the air flow a little more in front of your Graphics Card. Or even move one to the very top and the other to the very bottom. This way you are not pushing the warm air from your Hard Drives into your Graphics Card. It looks like you can remove the Top HDD Bay to Mount the Radiator, if you go with the Hybrid Kit. I would check if you can Step-Up to a Hybrid? Kind of like the Top Radiator this image:

I can remove the hdd bays completely but I think I'll undo the bottom one then put the radiators on the bottom. I can fit a 240mm rad on the bottom with it removed. I just don't know how to mount it there either

They say to put the radiator above the card being level would be ok.
You said radiators are you getting Two Cards are a Custom Water Loop?
