fullzero, you mentioned active cooling for 1080tis with 133 CFM 120mm fans.
Im interested in this solution, but Im not sure if I will be able to put it together. Can you please share some details.

Do you remove original fans and cover so that only the cooler fins remain?
How do you mount fans?
How do you power the fans?

I leave the shroud (GPU fans and casing) on; although if you were super exacting it would probably be best to remove these; not worth the time IMO.

The way my open frames are (see one of the demo videos); I just zip tie them to the front (blowing into the 1080tis) and power them via a 3x fan to molex adapter / then molex to whatever is available with the rigs PSU. I get fans from Hawkfish007 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=352509; he includes the 3x fan to molex adapters with the fans.

OK, I think I get it now. You use double active cooling: original fans directly on the 1080tis + 120mm 133 CFM fans in the front of 1080tis.
I couldn't see this setup on the demo videos; I watched v0014demo, v0018demo and v0019demo. I think there are no 1080tis in these videos, but I think I get the picture.

Did anybody had to replace a failed original fan on a 1080ti?
I think a good way would be to remove all fans and their casing and somehow mount a high pressure fan (Like Corsair SP120 High Static Pressure 2350 U/min).
Some original fans on 1080tis are of low quality and will probably fail soon.
Does anybody have some experience with these type of modifications?
