Love the sleeved power cables!  Did you do those yourself?  I'd like to try that on my new cards when they arrive.
 
Are they difficult to make?

I bought extensions on Amazon.

The cooler mounting holes on the 1080ti are exactly the same as the 1080. The cooler is held on by the original 4 screws that held on the OEM heatsink. You don't need to put the shroud on. The shroud is there to help direct air over the entire card. VRM and other components are still being cooled.

Awesome to hear thank you. Off to find one now 

BTW, your case fans...fan rads pushing out, top fan pulling in?

What about cooling the actual memory units next to the processor? Is that going to be a problem? The blower fan isn't really going to cool those anymore.

Was thinking the same, but the mid plate is there. I guess if the memory isnt OC, shouldnt be a problem.  Even the AIO kits that fit the 1070/1080s use the blower fan.  On this mod, the air will escape where the die is, but still shouldnt cause to much extra heat on the ram near the back.  I imagine you can cover that open area and the air will pass over the backside of the mid plate.

I am planning on doing this mod myself, but my concern is the VRM/Memory cooling. You will need to run a custom fan curve also, because with the lower temps on the GPU due to the cooling, the blower fan will stay at much lower speed leading to high temps on the PCB. 
 
@Randpost1 - Did you use thermal pads on the VRM units when installing this mod? 

The original thermal pads are still intact on the PCB (vrm and other components). 
I have a 500mhz overclock on the ram.
I keep the blower fan at a 20-30% curve. I still feel air coming out the back io grill. I would say around 30-50% of the air still passes over the entire PCB plate.
 
If it's a worry for you, the open area can be covered easily. 
 
For me, I believe the setup is adequate. The orignal heatsink didnt really do much for dissipating the vrm heat except block the air. 
 
 

Hey mate, thanks for the post.
So basically you have the same noise than someone running the blower at 30% right?
I wanted to try this but i am worried about the noise.

Noise was my issue also. Below 50c I'm at 20% blower speed. And above 50c I'm at 30%. So only when gaming.
 
To answer another question, Rear and top case fans are all exhaust.

Awesome, just to be sure it is this kit ? :https: //www.alzashop.com/evga-cooler-hybrid-de-l39eau-all-in-one-pour-gtx-1070-1080-d4426990.htm?&language=fr&kampan=adeu_fr-pla-components_high_c_9056543_EV299a1&gclid=CjwKEAjwzKPGBRCS55Oe46q9hCkSJAAMvVuMH_PlAxwP2vVjjy4CllMbsfzw6lfdKA8r8UbfJ_nvRRoCTjXw_wcB ordering right away :D
