How do I turn down the LED light on the Card I read something about LED Visulizer but it's included with the program but can't find it on the current version.
The new evga cards look great.
Can the 1080ti be had anywhere? seems all sold out.
EVGA has the page for the hybrid kit up. Poster on their forum said it will be available next week, but didn't provide a source. $120 USD.

K, I'll go back to ignoring you as your title suggests.
Did you create a custom fan profile already? The default one is pretty crappy.The thing runs hot, limits OC potential.

You can tweak this in MSI Afterburner. I have it set to 40% at 40C and then 100% at 80C. You can tweak the curve to be more silent or have a faster/slower ramp, but the important thing is making sure the fan gets to 100% so it will never go above 80C (I think the limit is 84C where it will start throttling).Nope. I sure didn't. Didn't even know that was a thing. I'll investigate later.

Anyone else notice they jacked the price from $119 to $159 today? Ouch! I tweeted to evga Jacob about it, that's quite a price gouge.
Its not card sensitive.That MSI sh*t works with the baseline Founders Edition card?
Do you know much about the real world difference between the III and II ?That's why I went the Arctic Accellero HybridIII route
There are some other options. I prefer a mid/front plate card and a full removal of the original hsf and shroud with the nzxt version personally even though a mid/front plate is not required. Might be a short wait on misc parts going this route, depending on where you get them.Anyone else notice they jacked the price from $119 to $159 today? Ouch!

This is what I did to my 780ti sc cards with their mid/front plate (I did the full thing with 140mm and all new fans).. compared to the $120, 120mm evga kit with it's stock fan which wasn't available at the time.
I already own all of this stuff so it's not going to cost me all over again going forward. It might be a bit cheaper if you could get the splitters and extenders cheaper shopping around, if you don't require sleeved/braided, or if you happen to have any spares.
The short version is:
evga 120mm hybrid kit..$120
nzxt 120mm H55 kit.....$122
nzxt 140mm H90 kit.....$154
-------------------------------------------------
Cosair H55 120mm AiO cooler $55 or Corsair H90 140mm Aio Cooler $97 ($87 after mir)
NZXT Kraken G10 AiO Cooler Bracket $35
Copper Shims 2 for $2 or 20 for $8
4Pin PWM to 3Pin Standard Fan Adapter Cable $2 each
100 pack Nylon M2.5 Insulation Washer 2.5mm X 5mm X 1mm Thickness $5
50 pack #6 Nylon Finishing Washers - Black $10
100 pack Nylon 6/6 Pan Head Machine Screw, Black, #1 Phillips Drive, M2.5-0.45 Thread Size, 25 mm Length, Fully Threaded, USA Made ~ $8
...OR...
50 Pcs 12.9 Steel Alloy Hex Pan Head Knurled Cap Screw Bolt M2.5x30 ~ $7
IC diamond / MX thermal compound ~ $8
= $ 122 for single 120mm kit w/o thermal compound
= $ 154 for single 140mm kit w/o thermal compound
------------------------------------------
Optional - Swap out all fans to hydro bearing and push/pull config -
Sleeved 1-to-2 PWM Fan Splitter Cable $9
Sleeved pwm power extenders 2pk $7 (might not need depending on case configuration)
Custom Acrylic Fan Grills for externalized fans $7 each (only if you are sandwiching a push/pull fan externally)
Hydro bearing 120mm or 140mm Fans to replace stock corsair fans in push/pull ~ $15 each (~ $30 per radiator push/pull)
ARCTIC F9 PWM Rev. 2 Fluid Dynamic Bearing Case Fan, 92mm PWM Speed Control (Replaces stock nzxt VRM cooling fan) $8 each
Total
+ $61 each cooler push/pull config ($47 each without fan extenders ($7) and ext grill($7))
+ $37 each cooler single fan swaps ($23 each without fan extenders and ext. grill)
---------------------------------------------------
Cost to do optional stock fan(s) swap if using EVGA's hybrid kit instead of the nzxt one
I don't think you can replace the stock VRM cooling fan on the 1080ti/titan housing/shroud.
Minus that acrtic cooling fan for vrm's,
The swap to full hydro push/pull fans on the evga hybrid kit would still be another
$53 push/pull config ($39 without fan extenders ($7) and ext grill($7)).
or
$29 single fan swap ($15 for single hydro radiator fan swap without pwr ext or grill)
That's why I went the Arctic Accellero HybridIII route
I'm not a fan of the acrtic accellero one but I don't think the nzxt's are ugly at all... especially sidelong in a case. I do prefer the look and rigidity with a mid/front plate gpu model though, and the new sc and ftw also come with a backplate as well this time around. I think the whole plastic cracker jack box shroud on the cards by default is ugly.

Personally I don't even see my case innards with the huge 230mm fan on the side door of my haf-x case anyway. The only thing I can see is the corsair h100i v2 cpu cooler. If I had my way, high bandwidth displayport would be strong at 25 - 50' rather than 6' - 15' and my pc case wouldn't even be at my desk. The days of tron light bar case innards and clear cases died a long time ago for me personally.
Took me a good 3-4 days for my eyes to adjust to the card.....if I knew I would be getting temps at 84 c on full load I might have not got an FE.
Hell you might have to wait a good 1-2 months for anything else to be on sale.
That's the throttle temp though so if you are hitting it you could potentially be throttling in order to avoid going even hotter. You should aim to stay below the throttle temperatures especially overclocking. You can monitor all of that of course.it doesn't matter if your card is running at 84C or 50C.

Even if you are avoiding throttle just below it, your fans could be maxed and loud.
So it certainly can matter.
semantics. If the card downclocks at all due to reaching thermal limitation ceiling I consider it throttling.
Still not true, but whatever. If you are so concerned you can always alter the fan profile yourself.
